“I was on a literal high from Seafair weekend,” Angela Poe-Russell, filling in as one of the hosts on the Gee & Ursula show, said Monday.
“I love it when people can come in and express their dissent and do it in a way that’s mindful,” Poe-Russell said. “However, I completely disagree, and you will not take my Blue Angels. And look, I think they’re raising some really good points.”“You know, you’re working somewhere in town or you’re walking outside on a sidewalk and suddenly you hear that sound, and the first few years I was in town your reaction is ‘What is that?'” Lewis said.
“The people who serve they are behind the scenes, it’s like they’re behind the scenes doing all of this great work,” Poe-Russell said. “When do we have an opportunity to connect with them, and actually talk with them about the work they’re doing? If you actually go to Seafair, you can talk to members of the military and hear about their jobs. I think it’s important that we connect with the people who are serving. Yes, it’s a recruiting tool, but we need people to go into the military.
“It is impossible to watch a Blue Angel show without feeling the dual emotions of both awe and a little bit of terror at the same time because you understand what those planes represent. Right? They are warplanes. And we live in a country thanks to our military that has never had planes flown over our country and dropping bombs on us.”
