Mayor Henry Extends Warm Welcome to Prince Harry
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Gila Bend, AZ - November 7, 2011

“On behalf of the Town of Gila Bend, I’d like to extend a warm welcome to Prince Harry and his fellow pilots as they conduct training at the Barry Goldwater Air Force Base,” said Mayor Ron Henry. 

Much to the surprise and delight of the community, Prince Harry recently dined at Little Italy, with about 30 of his fellow pilots.  Mayor Henry was quick to note that, “as a testament to the character of the community, Prince Harry was left alone by fellow diners.  The fact that Prince Harry was not bothered by anyone says quite a bit about the good people we have here in Gila Bend.  We respect his privacy.  We admire his commitment to his mission, as well as his ‘down to earth’ demeanor.”

Unfortunately, a rogue and fabricated story was recently written by the publication, Daily Mail on November 7th, 2011.  Mayor Henry stated, “I am deeply saddened that comments written by the Daily Mail were not only taken out of context but also, total fabrications.  In fact, the negative comments were the words of the reporter, who chose to sensationalize and fabricate a story, rather than report the truth.  I would never make such outlandish comments. We have tremendous respect and adoration for Prince Harry and the Royal Family.  We are excited, proud and honored to have him in our community, and we would like extend every courtesy to make his stay as comfortable as possible.”
