Veterans Day Convention

PoptropicaStars attended a Veterans Day convention at 11:30 A.M. in Rancho Cucamonga, California today at the Poptropican Civic Center. Like her, many Poptropican celebrity residents who live in Los Angeles County were invited to this special VIP event. Military families and government figures who signed up for the event also were allowed into the convention with proof of waiver signatures. The turn-out for this convention went great as more than 100 guests came to the event.

At noon, Poptropicans attached the American flag to the indoor pole as each guest paid respects to the troopers. At 1:00 P.M., the guests were given a light European-style lunch including ratatouille, bruschetta, or lobster bisque with choice of drinks. At 2:25 P.M., guests were given the chance to meet a government figure. PoptropicaStars decided to chat with the official linguist of the Poptropican President, Britney Wright to learn more about her job as helping the Pop. President interpret messages. Other government figures attending the convention include Poptropican Branch of Congress member, Roger Kingston, and the Pop. President's assistant bill verifier, Edward Collingdale. At 3:00 P.M., guests were able to listen to Wright's speech about Veterans Day and the military families who sacrificed a lot to help countries in need. Nearing the end of the convention at 4:00 P.M., everyone had their final chats before leaving for the night.

  3. My grandparents came from a military background so this I feel really honored to be able to honor them since my grandmother served as a military cook in Iran for 7 years. That still counts right? Well, if that doesn't, my grandfather was in the army when he was 22 and he served in the army for 10 years. :)

    Salute and savor your veterans!

  4. Salute the veterans! These soldiers have worked rigorous habitats and need our support and affection. Veterans Day is the perfect opportunity to talk about their military past or presence. So much more cool than a cucumber. The linguist for the Pop. President looks ummm... younger than middle-aged.

  5. My grandfather served in the military for 12 years in Saudi Arabia. I contacted him today to tell him I love him. That phone convo we had meant a lot to him. I'm so grateful the Poptropican community in Los Angeles put together this amazing Veterans Day convention in honor for the troops around the world, not only in America. :) PoptropiaStars's outfit looks very cool too.

    Salute the troops!
