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.
Thanks ;*)

Over?
"charicature" is and how to spell it.
I know, but that's what he said. Now, any live shots will make it look like there were only about 6 people there.
They said they will be reporting on it the rest of the evening.
Good going guys!
He mentioned a sign one of our made "Support the troops not the kooks"
He said it was pretty good.
Me TOO!!!!!!! I hope to meet her on our next assignment and stand side by side in protesting Code Pink Commies!!!
Again -- google "bring them home yellow ribbon". The evidence is there and not very obtuse at all.
Good suggestion. Hope you are doing well. :)
"Let's finish what we start, let's give all to finish what we have to do -- our duty to future generations."
We agree on that point. ;)
Thanks for posting the image.
The background behind Kelly when he was reporting looked like the same background that we always see at the Bush ranch. I doubt that Kelly was even in Crawford today. He's probably reporting what some "producer" is telling him.
What a lame ass report.
Disappointed doesn't even begin to cover what I'm feeling toward him right now! Maybe he'd feel more comfortable at CNN or MSNBC
I wondered when the disturbance in Crawford would get Uncle Ted's attention!
Not a bit surprised to hear FOX has been light on coverage, but knew you guys would be on their butts. Just got home and will do my part in riding them.
I do think folks should realize no matter WHAT the Media does, these people came on their own accord. This is the heartland, it truly is a spontaneous uprising, they weren't paid and they aren't professional protestors and it outnumbers Cindy's cult. believe me, the REAL figures will be reported back to Washington and this IS going to have an impact no matter how the MSM attempts to hide it.
We are AMERICANS. And we support our Troops, Our Country and Our president. We aren't going to cut and run and ANYONE politicians that tries to get us out will pay.
Bless all you giving updates and bless those at the rally! WTG folks! Awesome display of love and patriotism!
If the libs hate and mock yellow ribbons, they must be a very good thing indeed.
OK, I have to learn how to cut down the size of those pix...I'll work on it.
