Something different happened in Olney today. The weather was in the upper 40s with a slight wind, not weather one would expect the car windows to be open. But the support we received today from passing cars made it seem like a warm, sunny spring day, especially in our spirit.
iMacMan captured some unusual photos of our supporters. It is always heart warming and inspiring to receive the numerous waves and honks, but upon reviewing iMacMan's pictures this week, well it was ... well, I just got a warm fuzzy feeling of pride just looking at the pics. If [Mrs] T was writing this thread, she would come up with a different description, like "beautiful", "stunning", "passionate", you know what I, er [Mrs] T means.
iMacMan sent us over a 125 real good pictures for review, but I couldn't show them all. The pictures below represent the best of the best. For some reason we received more than normal of our double waves, waves from the kids, and waves out the window. Waves from back seats are usually kids. The cars just keep coming.
AND THE WINNER IS THE "TRIPLE PLAY"!!!
And something else not photographed very often is [Mrs] T. She has been taking pics for several years at Olney, Walter Reed and other FReeps and doesn't get seen very often. This week iMacMan caught her numerous times. So I thought this would be a good AAR to make up for all those times she is behind the camera and not seen.

iMacMan and [Mrs] T weren't the only ones at Olney today. Other FReepers, Lurkers and Legionnaires in attendance today are: Legionnaires Glenn (USMC - Iwo Jima), and Frank, (Army - Korea), Lurkers Steve, Bill and his daughter, and BufordP, Cindy_True_Supporter, Fraxinus, Sensei Ern, VAFlagWaver and my self.
That makes 13 of us to the moonbats 8.
It was a special day for Lurker Bill's daughter, it was her birthday. BELOW LEFT: VAFlagWaver lighting her candle. [Mrs] T made brownies and had one piece with a small umbrella and candle. BELOW RIGHT: Blowing out the candles.

BELOW: And BufordP found a friend with similar taste in jackets. After we broke down and were getting ready to head up to Westminster, along came this dog. The dog and BufordP further bonded together by marking their territory on a nearby car tire.
The moonbats were there with their faux marine. Legionnaire Glenn (USMC - Iwo Jima) said that he is no Marine. Anyways, hell with the moonbats. They ain't getting any space on this week's AAR.
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.
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.

[Mr] & [Mrs] T
i don’t remember hearing of a freep in the cincinnati area. it looks fun and gets the message out. good job guys and gals
(Just kiddin' around with ya, Bufe)
I agree with you, Mr. T. To Hell with the Moonbats. Wonderful photos of the folks driving by... a SURGE of thumbs-ups, actually. And the surge is working!
Thanks for being there every week.
Snow this Saturday, everyone dress warm.
I think the Surge is working in Olney, too!
I don’t know when I have had so much fun reading an AAR.
Thank you so much.
BufordP, whether writing, or being written about, is always a HOOT!
Miss you all!
Happy Birthday to “J” too.
Great AAR and wondeful pictures! So glad to see Mrs. T in them! Nice to see LurkerBill’s daughter enjoying her birthday with the brownies and new gift. Love those double waves and the “Triple Play” was definitely the prize of the day! BufordP and the dog with matching jacket - PRICELESS!
Great job ALL! Keep up the awesome job! :)
Thanks. I’m gonna have to get that dog’s cell phone number so we can keep in touch and make sure we’re coordinated the next time we meet.
Circles!
You guys were so cute together.
I could’ve taken that dog home with me. I love dogs. But Mrs P won’t let me have one.
:-(
So just find a protest, mess with them and be sure to post a AAR and ping your FR members. That will let others in your area know you are out there and join you.
[Mr] T
Can’t wait to read AARs around the Memorial Weekend.
[Mr] T
But does your message mean that if roads are passable that you’ll be in Olney??
Don’t forget, the Westminster FReep is in the afternoon. you should come out to some of those. Last Saturday was great.
[Mr] T
Remember when you helped occupy the moonbats corner? Get times in Olney. To FReepers not familiar with 3DJoy, she is in the red hat. And that is Spiff with her. Sensei Ern later joined them.
