"Let the Blue Angels Soar Again"

Sequestration as a story line has largely faded from national headlines. However, its ramifications are slowly trickling down and having real-world effects across the country. One unfortunate example is the cancellation of the 2013 air-show season flown by the U.S. Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron—aka the Blue Angels.
On the surface, lobbying for the restoration of the Blue Angels for next year might seem petty, given that the Defense Department has had to cope with substantial cuts this year and the Navy and Marine Corps fliers might seem like a luxury.
