Dang, it was cold!

Yes, it was a dry, very cold night on Georgia Ave. Unbeknownst to us, our fearless (literally!) D.C. Chapter leader Kristinn was winging his way to Iraq! No foolin', Iraq! Read his reports #1 and #2. This was a trip sponsored by our good friend Melanie Morgan of Move America Forward and included Gold Star parents who wanted to meet with the brothers and sisters with whom their own children fought and died. The parents wanted to see for themselves what it was like and thank the troops for their hard work as well as bring the message of US support directly to the Iraqis.
Way to go, Kristinn!
Wounded Warriors Neil and Jody holding the most famous pic of the week. Maybe the year! They had not heard Kerry's slanderous attack on their intelligence and once filled in, they had some unprintable responses. Thanks guys! We really appreciate you and the time you spent with us tonight!

Meanwhile, waaaaaay down the block...
 Line of Lonely Loonies |
 Pinkos like standing in the street. Nobody pays attention to them. |
 JVB and Cindy-True-Supporter show the Truth! to the cowardly Pinkos as PleaDeal records the occasion behind them. |

The Bus from Fran O'Brien's kept us on the corners until well after 10pm. It's always worth a few frozen toes and fingers to see the smiling faces of the warriors and their kin drive by.
We'll be back out at Walter Reed Friday night, November 10th, from 6:30 until at least 9:30 at the intersection of Georgia Avenue and Elder Street, NW in Washington, D.C. Friday should be a special night because...
Its the 231st Birthday of the United States Marine Corps!
Come prepared to be the FEW, the PROUD, and the LOUD! OORAH!
The wounded warriors inside the hospital are heartened by the sight of ordinary citizens cheering for them and displaying our heartfelt thanks for the service and sacrifice they've made on our behalf. On the eve of Veterans Day, there's no better place to go to say Thanks! to a whole bunch of young Vets.
A couple hours this Friday night is very little to give compared to what they've contributed!
As always, the DC Chapter's rules for protesting will be in effect. Briefly, they are: No violence. No profanity. No racism. No provocations. Obey the law. Treat all law enforcement officers with respect.
Keeping the BIG LIST: All DC Chapter Walter Reed FReeps - c/o BufordP.
Ping to #81!
Ping to Walter Reed FReep #81

WR thread just came up
Coming out to support the troops at WRAMC is more important now than ever! Code Pink assumes they are in the majority after Tuesday.
Another "Perfect" thread. Thanks.
[Mr] T
You guys know what your showing up there and doing this with such devotion means to us who can't be there, and to the military. I mention it from time to time, but we are always thankful.

[Mr] T
Thanks guys for all you do.
Home Front Heros Bump
Now we have to do a lot of work to keep our hero's safe from the commie Dem's!!!
Great report.
[Mrs T]
Every day is Veteran's Day. But there's no better place to celebrate it than Walter Reed. See y'all Friday.
You coming?!?! OORAH!
Never!!!!
You think they will actually have an increase in numbers after this???
Those deluded fools have always thought they were in the majority.
Bumping for the support of all our troops and their families. Bumping for the Gold Star Families' trip. I imagine it is a very hard journey, and it shows great courage to take this trip. To all of you--thank you and Godspeed.
We need you more than ever now.
Eternal thanks.

Great how you just slap them all together like that!
Easy as pie, huh, lol.
