WALTER REED FReep, Week 42, Feb 3 (Uncle Sam Needs You Feb 10!)

DC Chapter, Free Republic | February 9, 2006 | Albion Wilde

[Albion Wilde]

WASHINGTON, DC, Feb. 3, 2006—Last week's FReep was the third in our newly captured territory—all four corners of Walter Reed Army hospital's main gate—the DC Chapter having outsmarted Code Pink in mid-January, when after 40 weeks of counterprostests, the DC Chapters of FreeRepublic and Protest Warrior finally drove the Pinko womyn and associated quislings away from the gates. Our side, supporters of the troops and the mission outnumbered by three-to-one the pitiful remnants of Code Pink's newly-relocated "vigil" 'way down the block—they are out of our brave heroes' faces now!

What's even better is that many more wounded troops and their wives, parents or supportive friends now come out of the hospital, whether on foot, on crutches or in wheelchairs, to stand with us against domestic enemies. Passing cars and trucks now serenade us all evening long, beeping in support and high-fiving out the windows. No wonder the libmedia stays away—the joy and fervor of the support we receive gives them the big, fat lie.

Especially touching is the sight of newly wounded servicemen or women arriving by ambulance or helicopter. Some have reported that they could see us out the window as they arrived, and it gave the wounded comfort knowing they would not to have to pass by the anti-war ghouls' messages alone.

We've won the battle for strategic territory at Walter Reed; but the war's not over. We need to keep FReeper numbers strong, to defend the gates of Walter Reed from re-encroachment by anti-war socialists.

Our usual correspondent, BillF, is having a computer melt-down this week. BillF will post a complete report with photos and the attendance list of last week's FReep in coming days, but for now, he has asked me to remind all FReepers and lurkers within driving distance of northern Washington, DC, to...

I don't think any of my Carole Little will show under my coat - it'll have to wait for spring.

[bluesagewoman]

Wouldn't miss these for the world.

Ditto!

Thanks to the DC FReepers for "holding the fort" and for demonstrating support of the military on behalf of those of us who live too far away to participate.

I hope and pray the need ends before I'm in DC on a Friday; but if I'm ever there, I promise to join your group (if only for one FReep).

Thank you military and military families for your service and sacrifice, which keep all American free. We truly appreciate you!

Mrs. Taxman and I thoroughly enjoyed our first "Four Corner FReep" last FRiday evening.

Most gratifying!

Taxman Bravo Zulu to all!

My new black clogs have the fashionable white stitching on them. And it's hard to make a fashion mistake with the Scottish tartan muffler.

Thank you military and military families for your service and sacrifice, which keep all American free. We truly appreciate you!

Worth repeating! God bless our military. Thank you, Prov3456!

I always look forward to pics of "normal people' who are determined that the liberal whackos will not go unchalleneged in their attempts to exploit our soldiers.

Best slogan ever: "I respect your right to be an IGNORANT MORON!(Justanobody)

LOL! Justanobody is a rockin' FReeper who's simply the best. And we're all looking forward to BillF's picture story when his computer recovers.

Meantime, you can see some great photos and a write-up of the FReep, Osama on a Stick, at GunnNutt's new blog, Semper Gratus.
