The following are photographs sent to me by SoldiersPrayingMom of the Freep held this weekend. She says that lots of drivers honked enthusiastically! Thought you all would like to see them.

I think my pictures are mostly of the church group.

Of course, I do have a picture of my favorite subject. Looks like she wants to be a model this week. :)

[SoldierDad]

I understand. I've often wished that I could travel across the country and stand with others showing support for our President and Troops, but distances (and work) keep my from that. Your thoughts and prayers are greatly appreciated.

You have a remarkable son!

I think my pictures are mostly of the church group.

Well, that's good news!

Of course, I do have a picture of my favorite subject. Looks like she wants to be a model this week. :)

She sure looked cute all dressed up in red. :-)

[SoldierDad]

Thank you. I actually have two remarkable sons. One trying to demonstrate his patriotism here at home, and one fighting the enemy in Iraq.

[stephenjohnbanker]

Scratch that, you are a remarkable family.

Thank you all for your service!

[SoldierDad]

Thank you for your kind words. I don't think of myself as all that remarkable. I'm just an American who loves his country and countrymen/women. My son's also have that love of country. The person who deserves the compliment of being remarkable would be my Grandfather. He fought in the trenches of France in WWI. He passed on his patriotism to all his children and grandchildren. We've had many family members in uniform, with some serving overseas during a time of conflict or war.

Right now not only is my son serving in the war, but my brother's son is as well. My sister's son already served one tour in Baghdad and may redeploy before the end of the year. My sister's husband's niece is also in Iraq right now. All of this came from our grandfather; may God Bless his soul in Heaven.

Amen.

A few of our regulars were missing Friday night, so it was with gratitude that we watched approx 100 young people coming down the sidewalk carrying flags and signs.

We missed FriendAnn; Enterprise; notpoliticallycorewrecked and Gracie1.

The motorists get really involved when they are met by 100+ cheering young people. They will not be able to join us every month but they plan to attend whenever their schedules permit. Thank you, Riverdale Assembly of God members!!

Sorry babe. I'm a native American. And being a new American is nothing to be ashamed about.

[Mama_Bear]

I'm just an American who loves his country and countrymen/women. My son's also have that love of country.......All of this came from our grandfather

America could sure use more families like yours with strong convictions and a willingness to take a stand for freedom and what is right and good.

If you are ever near Fresno on the first Friday of the month, please come to our rally. You can contact me or JustAmy for info regarding time and location.

May God protect your family members on the front and bring them home safe and sound.

Nice photos, Amy. What a great looking gathering of young patriots! That baby girl is so precious in her red, white and blue dress.

[Jim Robinson]

I told my wife about your son standing all alone for his brother and the troops against the libs and she's rip-roaring and ready to go!! Hopefully we can form a convoy and caravan up the 99 to Chico for a weekend to lend a hand!!

[Syncro]

Hay that sounds GRATE!

Lemme know when would work good

SoldierDad, thanks to your Son's Service to keep our Country a safe and free Constitutional Republic!

Amy, that little one hates the camera!

PrissyMissy reminds me a lot of my granddauther.

[SoldierDad]

Perhaps on a time when we come down to Coalinga to visit my father we can drive to Fresno and stand with you on a first Friday of the month. This might be possible during the Christmas Holiday or the summer as I work for a public school district in the Sac area.

[SoldierDad]

My son said "Right on!" when I shared your post. He's always rip-roaring ready to go. Any Saturday that works for all of you will work for us. Just call it and we are there. We'll send details of where to meet when the date is set.

[Just A Nobody]

Thanks for the ping and additional pics!!! What an awesome sight you all are.

I've missed pics of the adorable PrissyMissy.

Loved the new little one ... "I posted her twice because she was so cute!"
