On the recordJuly 16, 2007
I wanted to brag about Nevada a little bit. You know, the interesting thing, I say to my friend from Virginia, Nellis Air Force Base--when it was started during the Second World War, it was known as the Las Vegas Gunnery School, and then it became Nellis Air Force Base--named after someone from Searchlight, NV, by the way, Bill Nellis--was on the outskirts of Las Vegas. Now it is in the middle of Las Vegas. But the people of Las Vegas support that base. They protect that base. Nobody criticizes an airplane being a little too loud. We love Nellis Air Force Base.
