Some coutries who have withdrawm troops seem to have large segments of islomofacists among their citizenry, ie. Norway, Netherlands, Phillipines, to name some, and other countries with growing islam citizens, i.e Hungry. Interesting.

Great report as usual and my appreciation again to all the stalwart freepers. (Maybe you were all US Postal clerks in previous lives? Weather does not keep you from the performance of your duty!) And my long-distance thanks to Mr. T for shoveling and sanding!

P.S., however, a possible correction to the coalition list. I believe the Canadians are fighting very hard in Afghanistan?

[firebrand]

Yes, New York. Some people actually get married in this city. : )

Good luck with the demonstration. This is an important one!

I just wanted to let everyone know that I was on that bus pulling back into Walter Reed and every one of you looked so great there!!! All I heard from everyone on the bus was how proud they were that you were there and the "others" were not anymore!! Those soldiers on that bus really appreciate everything that you are doing for them!! I was going to try to run back out to you, but the bus goes really far back into the hospital site and I was afraid that by the time I got there you would be gone.
I am going to be home for spring break on March 16/17, but we are going to try to come back on the 16th meet up with you at Walter Reed and be there for the rally on the 17th. I'll keep you posted and I'm really going to try and be there!! Thanks again, I was so proud to be on that bus and seeing all of you!!!

Nikki...THANK YOU so much. Your heartwarming message helped warm my still cold body.

It is always the highlight of our night to see our beloved heroes return from a nice evening out.

Look forward to seeing you on March 16/17.

Thanks for posting and for the ping!

You would not believe how spectacular it was to have the buses stop last night. It was initially confusing when you all stopped down the street and then pulled over instead of turning into Walter Reed. But stepping onto the buses and having the troops loudly clap for us was a misty eyed, heart warming experience.

I'm happy to have this opportunity to tell someone on the bus how much it meant to us to have you stop, especially on such a cold night, probably the coldest this winter.

I took a quick look at your links, longer look in the near future. Thanks you for your dedication to the POW/MIAs. Another heart warming story knowing that there are people who really care about others more than themselves.

Wow! What a freep! God Bless you all.

[Jimmy Valentine's brother]

Now you talking! Or is it signing?

God bless you Sensei Ern - Real men DO love Jesus. Thank you for your hard work in showing support and love to the soldiers. And thanks to ALL the Freepers who gather there.

Ping to anyone who might not have seen this fabulous post #66 by NikkiUSA!

Keep up the wonderful work. Thanks for letting them know that we care.

Thank you for your post, Clara Lou!

Do you have a Salvadoran flag? The small Salvadoran contingent has seen some hard fighting. They know what they are about, having defeated the communists in a long and difficult civil war instigated by Cuban agents and American liberals.

No, at present our Coalition flags are limited to UK and Australia. Thank you for pointing out the tremendous efforts of the Salvadorians. The Wikipedia link I published in post 29 (above) to the list of Coalition troops (with illustrations of their flags) is incomplete. Here is the complete link:

God bless you all.

Same to you, hsalaw!

Some coutries who have withdrawm troops seem to have large segments of islomofacists among their citizenry, ie. Norway, Netherlands, Phillipines, to name some, and other countries with growing islam citizens, i.e Hungry. Interesting.

That is too true, unfortunately. Here is one of the best books on the subject available today:

America Alone: The End of the World as We Know It, Marc Steyn's excellent analysis of the Europe/Muslim situation:

Thank you, but Canadians are not listed according to Wikipedia, Multinational force in Iraq, nor by GlobalSecurity.org: Non-US Forces in Iraq - February 2007

Wow, Nikki, thank you so much! This happened at the FReep on Friday, Feb 16. Look for the report of it by Tom the Redhunter later this week! I think [Mrs] Trooprally also got some pix inside the bus!

Woo-hoo!

[Albion Wilde]

God Bless you all.

You, too, Dinah, for your loyalty and generosity!
