After a "most excellent" Walter Reed FReep that I can remember in a long time, I was hoping Olney would be nearly as exciting. And it was in its own way. We out numbered the moonbats, more than 2 to 1, or we had 9 FReepers and Lurkers to their 4. And American Flags flew freely on our corner while the moonbats side had none, nada, zero.
BELOW LEFT: Kristinn proudly holds one of the flags on our corner. BELOW RIGHT: Fraxinus also proudly holds a flag.
FReepers and Lurkers in attendance today were Lurker Bill, (aka Lurker Bill from MD on Walter Reed AARs) and daughter, Cindy_True_Supporter (CTS), Fraxinus, GunsAreOK, Kristinn, Legionnaire Halsey, Mrs. Trooprally ([Mrs] T), and myself ([Mr] T).
[Mrs] T took todays pics.
BELOW LEFT: Legionnaire Halsey with Lurker Bill. BELOW RIGHT: GunsAreOK letting passerbys know that we are there while the other early FReepers set up the banners. This gives us face time while preparing for our FReep.
BELOW LEFT: Lurker Bill, before Halsey arrived, with daughter, GunsAreOK, Fraxinus and CTS in back ground. BELOW RIGHT: All of us with LOTS OF FLAGS, minus Lurker Bill and [Mrs] T, who is taking the pics.
And some pics of our support from passing vehicles. And we received a lot of honks and waves today. It seems that with the 4th of July days away and the Illegal Immigration Bill going down in defeat, people we extremely up beat this week.

REMEMBER
Next Saturday, same place, Georgia Avenue, MD Rte. 97 and MD Rte. 108 in Olney
NEW TIME - 10:15 AM to 11:45 AM
As always, the D.C. Chapter's rules for protesting will be in effect. Briefly, they are: No violence, no profanity, no racism, no provocations, obey the law and treat all law enforcement officers with respect.
But a lot of verbal engagement in Olney is always welcome. Where is Mr. Bull Horn when we need him?
If you live in northern VA and want a short cut to Olney See Post 39 Here. It's an easy 20 minute drive from the American Legion Bridge.
A special Thanks to a FReeper FRiend for enhancing the original plain type directions.

[Mr] T
And just think, you'll be one of us this Saturday. Looking forward to having you!!

Yes, I was one of the Freepers at Olney today!
We were a great gang and really showed those protestors how wrong they are. We couldn’t count the horn blasts and hand salutes that we got.( not enough fingers and toes in the entire group!)
I bet one of them have enough fingers to count the support that anyone showed them!
