Just talked to Basil on site in Crawford, Texas. Currently there are about 100 folks there helping to set up. They have not received word about the caravan arrival in Waco yet. JimRob is riding with the caravan. She thinks it might get to Crawford around 1:00 p.m.
Basil says the stage is set up, the sound system is excellent and they have hung the most beautiful banners overnighted by W04Man on the stage. A big thanks for the banners, they are much appreciated!
Someone arrived early and hung yellow ribbons everywhere.
They have an American flag that is about 50 feet by 40 feet. Children of military personnel serving in the Middle East have written notes to their parents on the stripes of this flag. A very touching thing to behold.
The HOT Chapter booth is being unloaded right now. The will sell buttons made by Angelwood to help off set costs.
Someone rented the Community Center for our use so there is access to AC. However, they also have 10 tents set up. And there is a Moonwalk for the kiddos.
To top everything else there is BBQ on the grill! Basil is the official taster and says it is great!
That is all the news I have at the moment. It is hard to get a cell phone connection to Crawford but when I hear more I will try to update everyone.

I see the H.A.T.S. "Support our Troops" banner to the left of this neat flag. :o)
From looking at all the pictures, looks like it was a fantastic turnout!

It's possible that the reason Ms. Sheehan isn't even in the boat is because she fell hook, line and sinker for the anti-war crowd's psychotic rants. She's drowning in Liberal Psychosis, and that's not just a lake in DU land. LOL

"The Price of Freedom Isn't Free" Cindy doesn't like that slogan? Cool. I suspect Freepers will be meeting her little trek with that phrase quite often then.

I really can't tell you how much I appreciate and respect all those who braved the heat and spent the money for tickets/gas to go down and represent all of us. I am proud to be a part of it, no matter how tangentially.Same here.

I am surprised to hear that about Greg Kelly after all he was an ex-marine.

How many showed up and was there media coverage? From what I understand there was about 3,000 on our side that showed
So far there's not been much coverage ... but it's still earlier

Right clicking? What's that? I have a Mac. Right-click is something you could do on a Mac with a 2 button mouse...functions similar to what it does on a Windoze box.
Careful....thread hijacking by the Free Republic techies (pocket protector squad) could take place in short order, given such an exchange.
