My brother and I drove from Wisconsin to take part in that memorable event and a good time was enjoyed by all roughly 5000 in attendance.

“How many attendees are still around”?

My most memorable moment at the rally was standing in the crowd at the rally when someone tapped me on the shoulder and when I turned around, there was a customer of mine standing there. Neither of us knew that the other was a Freeper! Both of us had traveled all the way from Houston.

I drove there from NYC with a couple of Freepers from CT. One was RR (rest his soul). It was an unforgettable experience. This is also my tenth anniversary as a Freeper.

I’m here.

I have a March For Justice poster on my wall.

Today is like that day..... endless blue sky, and light breeze

What a great day that was.

As requested I brought my state flag. To my amazement, it drew a small group of Tennesseans who rallied to it.

I am apparently not the only one who remebered Appy Pappy’s real name.

Using your real name was common on FR when I started.

I didn’t realize that when I signed up under a different screen name in early 1998. Thanks for setting me straight.

How many attendees are still around?

Here's your cue!

Still got any pics of the sendoff party?

Been there and still have the MFJ T-shirt! I carried an American flag up near the stage - sure was great to hear folks like Matt Drudge, Ann Coulter, and to meet so many patriotic Americans! And later that night I was passing around little boxes of Junior Mints with stickers on them so they would be "Impeach Mints!" What a weekend!!

Here are some of my favorite signs from the MFJ...

YUP!! You were there, UB!

Just re-remembering again...

I sang the National Anthem at the opening - one of the coolest things I’ve ever done!

;^)
