State Senator in Nebraska Forgets His Own Plan to Wear Patriotic Scarves and Ties on Designated Day
The Associated Press
LINCOLN, Neb. April 14 — State Sen. Floyd Vrtiska understood when lawmakers forgot about his plan to wear patriotic scarves and ties on the same day.
He forgot, too.
The Nebraska Nurses Association distributed the ties and scarves to lawmakers earlier this year, Vrtiska said.
He asked his colleagues to wear them Tuesday to show their patriotism. At least 10 senators remembered, but Vrtiska had to borrow an extra American flag tie from another senator.
