Boys Nation - Day 2 - July 21, 2012
Day two began with a general orientation where the senators were introduced to the staff and an overview of the program was shared. Peter Gaytan, Executive Director of the Washington DC. Legion office swore in the 98 senators. As the day progressed, party conventions and senate sessions convened. Ultimately a President Pro Tempore and Secretary of the Senate were elected. Further appointments were made, bills introduced and it was obvious by the activity that Boys Nation 2012 was off to a running start !![General orientation session](https://www.legion.org/sites/legion.org/files/styles/scale800w/public/legion/photo-album/105/2012-07-22/DSC_0019.jpg?itok=hJwIlWOD)
