This was our first attendance at a 2nd Amendment rally at the state capitol in Arizona. There's a huge memorial for veterans and law enforcement officers with this one at the entrance to the area. Thank God to those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our country and our freedom!
This memorial is for the State of Arizona's Law Enforcement Officers.
We were surprised by the number of K9's that paid the ultimate sacrifice. I'm sure they're in heaven watching over all of our furry friends!
This is the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.
This rally was organized by RidersUSA. Nothing sounds like freedom like the roar from a parade of motorcycles!
We were in what was probably the safest place in the State of Arizona today. Not only were there hundreds of armed patriots but we had the overwatch of the police on top of the building across the street for security!
There were many vendors supporting the rally and selling goods to the patriotic attendees!
The food trucks were awesome too! We each had a delicious burrito bowl. We shared our table with an elderly woman that is a transplant from California. She was very nice and assured us that she wasn't going to try to "California our Arizona", apparently that's a well known slogan here.
There were hundreds of 2A supporters at this rally!
The first image is the actual painting that signifies our freedom and the 2nd image labels what each individual represents.

CAPITOL MUSEUM, Phoenix, AZ
We walked all the way around the outside of the capitol to find the door!!! It's a big, long block!
The Arizona
Capitol Museum is located inside the Arizona Capitol building and was constructed
from 1899-1901. A 17 foot tall Winged Victory weather vane sits on top the
copper dome of the building. The Capitol Building is listed on the National
Register of Historical Places. There are four floors of exhibits inside the Capitol
building. The exhibits include governmental, political and social history.
There was
also a Veteran’s Hall of Fame, the Legacy of the Buffalo Soldiers, a Martin
Luther King Room, Arizona Women’s Hall of Fame, a gift shop, Railroad History and
the Merci Train in AZ. The Merci Train: In 1949, the French people sent a train
full of gifts to the United States as a token of their gratitude for the country’s
help during and after WWII. The History of how AZ came to be the 48th
state, Minerals of AZ, Arizona Constitution, Judicial Branch and Campaign for
Statehood…and much more.
Wise words that still hold true today.
Some exhibits were memorable such as “The Life and Death of the USS Arizona.” The silver pieces that were once on the ship but removed just weeks before the attack on Pearl Harbor because of rumblings of war ahead. The exhibit also includes items recovered from the ship’s wreckage such as a part of the ship’s hull and the American Flag.
This is one of several vaults in the building that used to hold archives.
The circular open area above the state seal on the first floor is directly underneath the copper dome and the winged Victory weather vane on top of the building.
The designer of the mosaic tile on the floor in the original part of the State Capitol was from Ohio. Apparently they didn't research the state seal very well and missed the cow that is supposed to be on the lower right hand corner. Oops!
