Walter Reed FReep 134 - Nov 9, 2007 - "WE WERE OUTNUMBERED!"

Nov 15, 2007 | BufordP

[BufordP]

We were outnumbered...by the good guys from Gathering of Eagles (GOE)! They were in town to help celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Vietnam Wall Memorial Wall. These Eagles already had all 4 corners crowded before Mr Trooprally arrived at 6:40. Suzanne said she had been out there since 1pm!

GOE Honor Roll:

From North Carolina: YakFisher, Bubba Ross , Don M., Jaime S., Larry H., Lauri H., Trisha H., Doug L., Diane M., Cody, Chad, Henry M., erin-coda

From Pennsylvania: Doc L.

From Maryland: TJ, Suzanne, Pat M., Kevin M.

From Belize: Jim

From Virginia: Jim H., Candice, Phil, and baby daughter K., YorktownPatriot and DarthYorktown

From New Jersey: Frank, Little (F-something?? I can't read it.)

DC Chapter Freepers: BufordP, BillF, [Mr and Mrs] Trooprally, JoyJoyfromNJ, CindyTrueSupporter, VictoryNY, PresUSA222, Chief, kburi

AND Freeper eaglesnest1 visting from California. Be sure to check out her website Eagles Nest Foundation devoted to providing troops in Iraq and Afghanistan Christian materials.

You can watch and listen to YakFisher give "what for" to a useful idiot anti-war protestor here. YakFisher is one of the co-founders of MilitaryAppreciationDay.org

I'm afraid I can't provide good captions to many of the photos for all the fine people that I do not know save for the few I had a chance to talk to. The DC Chapter is extremely grateful to all of the Eagles and out-of-town Freepers. These people serve the troops in numerous ways.

Enjoy the pics!

Shame on me for taking so long to do the AAR.

[PROCON]

Great Pics, THANK YOU for what all you guys and gals do..wish I lived closer to D.C. :)

[Incorrigible]

You had me worried with the thread title!

Had fun joining the USO and troop families at this event this past week:

Microsoft and the USO Salute the Troops With a Spectacular Veterans Day

 

[Eagles6]

Great pics. The hippies don’t stand a chance. Too bad someone won’t do a documentary on this fine stand.

[DollyCali]

Geeze oh Man... you had me mega worried with that title.

good job & so glad some of the GOE joined you.

thanks for reporet BufP

[FlashBack]

You folks are GREAT AMERICANS!!!!!!!
Looks like a fun time for sure!

[mojo114]

All who attended are wonderful! Thankyou.

[momincombatboots]

Liberals with an American flag? Wow, that must be painful for them.

[trooprally]

Rained all day, and chilly, but that didn’t keep the Eagles from staying away. They are a great bunch of patriots.

Count: FReepers, Eagles, Lurkers = 35 Moonbats = around 6

The Eagles enjoy walking down to the moonbats and verbally engaging them. The normal AARs from their trip down the block: They don’t have a clue, What morons, 'Bleep', 'Bleep'

Thanks to all of our out-of-towners who came by to support the troops.

Shame on me for taking so long to do the AAR

At least you were there! I'm still working on my kitchen pass.

[Sensei Ern]

I won’t be able to make it tonight. I have to be at a work function. See you tomorrow in Olney...Lord willing!

[BufordP]

Excellent!

[trisham]

Great work bump!

[satin_patriot]

GOE participants who were also there...

Michigan— GaryS
MD— Chief
VA— satin_patriot, Papa Duck & his child bride

And at least a couple others that I’m not sure about screen name vs. real name...

:D

[3D-JOY]

OK!

Now that I read it through and my heart has slowed down.....HOORAY for the DC Freepers!

That title was a killer one this time!

[AprilfromTexas]

WOW, all afternoon!! Way to go FReepers and GOE. You guys make me proud!!

Nice job on the AAR, BufordP...better late than never.

[Albion Wilde]

Great to see that No'th Cackalacky flag! That might be Mrs George S who is holding it ...

Awesome new banner — from NC-GoE?

DarthYorktown. That means YorktownPatriot was probably also there.

National readership ping to this week's Walter Reed AAR by BufordP (don't let the title alarm ya)!

FReepmail me to be added to / deleted from this once-weekly ping list.

[notpoliticallycorewrecked]

It is good to hear that you were outnumbered by the good guys. LOL.

See all of you in two weeks.

[AliVeritas]

My goodness, the title scared me.

Outstanding BP, all!

P.S. Did you see the Winter Soldier 2 plans posted yesterday? Will look for it.

[E.G.C.]

BTTT

[Madame Dufarge]

Now that the panic's subsided, gotta congratulate you for the attention-grabbing title.

And thank you all again for all you do.

[Alamo-Girl]

Buuuump!

Nominate Hal Koster
for "Above and Beyond Citizen Honor" sponsored by the Congressional Medal of Honor committee.

Hal is that wonderful man who has sponsored all those many dinners for wounded troops at Walter Reed and Bethesda Naval Hospital, first at Fran O'Brien's restaurant, and later, at scores of sites around DC. It's the "dinner bus" that we cheer every week when it comes back to Walter Reed!

Read the thread at the link for directions on how to nominate Hal Koster for this well-deserved award.

[AGreatPer]

I always love these posts and pictures.

Thank you all for being there.

[pillut48]

Excellent! :*) And don’t scare me like that again with a headline like that!!! :-)

Eagles up! FReepers rock!! Yay!!

[pillut48]

Yeah, like vampires wearing garlic necklaces, LOL. ;-)

[M Kehoe]

Bttt.

[BillF]

Bump to a great report.

[Dinah Lord]

You got me with the title, guy!

Hah-hah. Glad I read further. By the time I saw the pic of the pathetic pinkos I was standing up and applauding you guys!

As always DC FReepers (and GOE!) you are awesome bump.

[JoyjoyfromNJ]

Thank you for id’ing some of the photos. I can confirm that Yorktown Patriot was present; even if I couldn’t remember their screennames, I recognized their very comfy, very WARM hunting boots. I was a bit envious of those boots back in March I think it was. . .

[Yorktownpatriot]

Great picture of my son Darthyorktown at WRMC!
You bet I was there!
It was a rainy but fulfilling evening,
Can’t wait to join up with y’all again.

[dsc]

“Shame on me for taking so long to do the AAR.”

Pshaw. Hooray for you, and all your compadres.

[PGalt]

Geeze oh Man... you had me mega worried with that title.

Whew! I was ready to turn in and saw the nightmare title. It's nothin' but sweet dreams now with GOE, FReepers and America's finest standing guard.

Whew!

[oneamericanvoice]

FANTASTIC REPORT!!!! Glad to see that you took all four corners! This must have been a real downer for the Pinkos! ha ha!!! Keep up the great work!!!! You’re an inspiration!

HUNT FOR HEROES--MIDLAND, TEXAS

"Terry Johnson, who founded Show of Support three years ago
to give thanks to veterans by inviting them to share
his passion for hunting, said 44 soldiers from throughout the country
and from each branch of the military will participate
in the program this year

The hunt is over for this year, but this link
might be given out in the hospital
so the troops can get connected
and possibly make the one next year.
God bless our troops...and all of you in DC who
support them so untiringly!
I'll never forget my Friday evening there!

[LUV W]

What a hero that man is!!!

He certainly deserves the award if anyone does!

[Huck]

You guys are awesome. I love what you're doing!

ps--satin_patriot's a hottie!

[Albion Wilde]

ping to post 41!

[RushLake]

Outstanding!

There are a couple of '60s throwbacks in my neighborhood that have those plastic signs on metal holders in their yards that proclaim "PEACE", and "Support the Troops, Stop the War". I bet there'd be a market for clones of the sign, "We Gave Peace A Chance, We Got 911"

[singfreedom]

That’s quite alright. Your weekly service, for all of us who can’t be there (but wish we could), certainly makes up for it! I have to come by every time you guys post and look at the pictures longingly.

Thank you, and all the other faithful, for all you do. I have to settle for sending “care packages” for our guys and gals. Wish I was there! Merry Christmas!
