The Presidential Inauguration: Preparations for the Presidential Inauguration of 2005.
The Presidential Inauguration day is coming! There's only 14 days left for Bush's Inauguration.
In January, as natural devastations overseas are occurring and with a war that is still continuing in Iraq and Afghanistan, the 2005 presidential inauguration will be taking place. This will be President George W. Bush's second inauguration and it will be a celebration that will honor the bicentennial of the Lewis and Clark expedition to the Pacific, along with the centennial of the presidential inauguration of Teddy Roosevelt. The presidential inauguration, which will have a spectacular amount of fanfare, is an event that embraces a new period and a time when everybody stands together to celebrate regardless of politics.
To keep in accordance with the current events as being a nation that is at war, "this year's theme will be "Celebrating Freedom, Honoring Service," said Jeanne Phillips chairwoman of the 55th Presidential Inauguration committee who spoke to the media on Wednesday 5th about this year's festivities.
The Presidential Inauguration will have a total of nine inaugural balls, a youth concert, an inaugural parade, a fireworks display and, the official swearing in ceremony where President Bush, like many other presidents before him, will then proceed to give his inauguration speech at noon on Jan. 20.
Also, for the first time a new event will be added to the Bush inauguration 2005, the Commander-in-Chief Ball. This event will be held for the 2,000 members of the armed services and their families. The Defense Department will distribute the free presidential inauguration tickets accordingly to the members of the military who will be attending the Commander-in-Chief Ball.
A more detailed schedule goes as followed:
- The presidential inauguration will start on Jan. 18 with the Military Gala, which pays homage to the troops that are abroad. There will be a youth concert in the evening featuring musical acts, video clips and guest speakers.
- On Jan. 19, there will be musical performances, entertainment and a fireworks display.
