The Olney FReeper were high spirits with Santa Claus on our corner this Saturday. And so were the passing cars. We seemed to get an extra amount of honks today.
BELOW LEFT: Santa Claus has arrived. He left immediately after the FReep to make it back to the North Pole to get his bag of gifts.
BELOW LEFT: Santa Claus with the Olney Gang. L - R: Cindy_True_Supporter, Lurker Bill's daughter, Fraxinus, SANTA, Halsey, Glenn and me. Lurker Gary showed up a little later. Lurker Bill was around somewhere. [Mrs] Trooprally is taking the pictures.
BELOW LEFT: Halsey and Glenn. BELOW RIGHT: Fraxinus
BELOW LEFT: Cindy_True_Supporter with me in back ground. BELOW RIGHT: Lurker Bill's daughter. Hey 3DJoy, recognize the stuffed animal in her left hand?
BELOW LEFT: Lurker Gary
And [Mrs] T took some real good pics of passing supporters. We had two cars pass by and take pics of us. [Mrs] T captured one of them. We also received two American salutes and NO one finger salutes. I guess the moonbats didn't want to get on Santa's bad side any more than they already are.
The moonbats barely made it out today. Apparently the "Quackers" had a big meeting today and some couldn't attend.
BELOW LEFT: Four of the 5 leftists. BELOW RIGHT: And two new signs. The one on the left says "War kills people and the planet". Ummm, no sh$$, so does terrorists and dictators. The others are self explanatory.
FINALLY
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!!!!
REMINDER: Westminster, MD Gathering of Eagles and FReep next Saturday, Dec. 28, opposite Women in Black and Carroll County "Communist" Progressives, from 1 PM till 3 PM. PatioticMarineMom needs "boots on the corner". Her Marine son will also be there. He leaves for Iraq in March.

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.
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.
The Archive of Olney FReeps is here or in the LINKS section of Trooprally's ABOUT Page.
WEATHER UPDATES HERE.
[Mr] & [Mrs] T
THANKS AGAIN FOR ALL YOU DO!!
Thank you all for what you do every week. God Bless you and God Bless our troops and their families. Thank you.
God bless you and Merry Christmas!
Thanks to everyone in attendance. FR’s finest! Merry Christmas to all!
Santa was there! I am so glad, wish you had been able to get a photo of ALL the attendees, One is definitely missing!
Yes, I see the “article” in her hand, thanks for being Santa’s helper.
OUTSTANDING!!!
Over here on the Left Coast, three of us manned the corner of Sisk and Standiford, Modesto, CA from 10 am - 1 pm. This particular intersection experienced extremely high volume of traffic today with many Christmas shoppers headed to the Vintage Faire Mall behind us.
Old Glory rose above the flags of each branch of the Armed Forces and I stood proudly with my signs “Land of the Free - Because of the Brave” and “Thank You Troops.”
Hopefully, our presence will inspire those who passed by to give some thought to those serving away from home and prayers will be offered up for protection during their deployment.
No pics from today’s adventure, just rest comfortably in the knowledge the someone was there to proclaim the message of Support Our Troops and LOTS of honking horns and waves from the passersb-by.
Now we know whose side Santa is on!
Commies hates every thing, even Christmas.

[Mr] T
Who were the other two with you, FReepers?
[Mr] T
Thanks for your encouraging words.
Great pics and AAR as usual! Merry Christmas, Santa! Way to go, supporting our troops! Great job FReepers. Wishing you and your families all a very Merry Christmas. Getting out there for the Westminster FReep/GOE Rallies has changed our lives for the better. We have always supported the troops but we are now taking action. We have enjoyed meeting such wonderful people and participating in such a worthy cause.
We wish all of our brave troops and their families a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Without your many sacrifices, we would not be able to enjoy the many freedoms that we have here in the USA. Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts. We are forever grateful as we pray for your safe return home. We support you because you support us. God Bless you all!
Sorry for the late reply, been away and busy catching up.
Sounds like a real good crew to be with.
Have a Happy New Year!
[Mr] T
I’ll second your message to our troops.
[Mr] T
