The most amazing thing about the rally today was the sound system. The media can report factually that 70 to 100 people stood at the rally site, that is accurate, I was there.

But the sound carried, my dear bride did a walk a bout and could here Kristinn, Nicki Mendicino, and all the other fine speakers from as far away as the WWII Memorial! She reported back that people stopped and listened. There were thousands walking around throughout the day. Many heard the message.

"The left [wing] is the left. It will always attack America first, will always blame America first, will always work with our enemies to bring down America.

The leftists acted so shocked when Hugo Chávez bashed President Bush at the UN, when all he did was repeat the Democratic talking points!

bttt

God bless America

I wish I knew about this, I would have gone down there since I live in MD. I would really like to see several thousand bikers (such as myself) ride down for support - I'm not an organizer but I would go.

Excellent that the Washington Times covered it

Thousands wear red in support of troops (Canada)

From the WT article:

"Richard Linn of Chesterfield, Va., said his son, Lance Cpl. Karl R. Linn, 20, was killed with three others from his unit in January 2005 in an ambush in Iraq's Anbar province.

"One thing Karl and I agreed on was, despite whatever reasons we've got [for being] over there, that the only thing to do was to finish the job correctly," he said. "And to that end, I support our efforts, and I support our troops to this day." "

Karl must be very proud of his dad. Blessings on them both.

Thank you both for being there and speaking! It was good to see you again!

[fanfan]

Great job you guys and gals!

Here's a beautiful video showing what our troops are fighting for! It'll give you goosebumps.

Just got home, and beginning to think about this great worthwhile week-end.

I always like to watch the 'edges' of our rallies, and see the reactions of those who just happen to come across whatever we are doing. Yesterday was no exception. Some people strolled slowly, watching and listening, and some just stopped to listen until a speaker was finished. I only saw one woman who made a spectacle of herself, shouting and gesturing with her arms. Didn't look like she made any points for whatever cause she was ranting about.

Even those who walked by right in front of the stage seemed to approve. One biker whooped approval and raised a V-for victory sign.

Middle America. Nice to see.

So nice to see old Freeper friends and to meet new ones, and SOOOOOOOO nice to have JimRob right there with us ---- or should I say WE were there with HIM!

[Taxman]

Taxman Bravo Zulu! to all who made the Rally possible, to all who attended and to all who participated!

I dearly wanted to attend, but my health does not yet permit me to travel.

BTTT! Thanks to all who showed up and helped put this together. I fear at times that the pro-troop movement gets too complacent in promoting this important cause.

Our "adversaries" in the anti-war movement are on the case everyday trying to undermine the war on terrorism. They see it as unjust and inhumane, and thus they are motivated to do everything they can to bring about the defeat of U.S. Troops and their missions, so that our nation will give up the cause, pull our troops back home, and end the fight.

Meanwhile the Islamic jihadists who our troops are fighting are also working every day to plan new attacks against both civilian targets here at home, and in allied nations throughout the civilized world, as well as planning attacks to kill/injure as many U.S. Troops as possible.

It is therefore, in my opinion, of absolute paramount that we do not flag or fail in our efforts to provide the counterbalance to the anti-military/anti-war contingent, and that we do not let our troops think for one minute that the cause is not just, or that their countrymen do not support them or have the will to see this war through to an end - one that is victorious for the cause of freedom.

Great work on the rally and way to go on the sound system. It's not on MP3 anywhere I can download, is it?

This morning in church an Air Force man about to be deployed was called down to the alter...all the veterans too, to lay hands on him and pray as the whole church of 250 people prayed for him, his unit and all the troops overseas and at home. It was great to be an American this morning.

God bless our troops and God bless DC Chapter, Project 21 and Military Families Voice of Victory. Thank you for having this rally!

Kevin Martin at the rally.
Sorry about the camera work.
The "Bad Analogy" comment you hear, is me.
Some of us Southerners didn't surrender.

[JockoManning]

Cool. Thanks.

[armymarinemom]

Finally back to the home base. We did have people coming over from the monument to listen as the rally progressed. A lot of people heard messages from our speakers.
It is always wonderful to spend time with the DC Chapter and it was a special treat to have Jim Rob there.

[Mrs. Darla Ruth Schwerin]

It's incredibly difficult to believe the seething hatred and contempt much of the left has for the United States and its citizens. In my opinion, they are doing quite a bit of transferrence. For they have such a self-loathing that has been projected onto anything that is good and right...
