This is my story and Hitlery's handlers are not going to get me to change it and B. Hussein O. can't "change" my mind by spouting his "typical" dribble.
Where is Doctor Raoul's gas mask when we need it? The three moonbats that showed up today had all 16 patriots shaking in their boots and ducking for cover when a strange green cloud blew over to our side of the street. It was so bad that several patriots had to deploy to the other two corners.
Luckily the brisk wind soon dispersed the strange odor and we we back to proudly standing our ground, getting an extraordinary amount of honks, waves and air horn blasts.
The roll call of our 16 Patriots (a near record) included Legionnaires Glenn (USMC - WWII), Francis (Army - WWII), Dave (Army - WWII), Halsey (USMC - Korea), Frank, Dennis, (Army - Korea), Lurker Bill, Cindy_True_Supporter, Fraxinus, Kristinn, iMacMan, Rlmorel, Sensei Ern, VaFlagWaver, Veeram, [Mrs] Trooprally and myself, [Mr] T.

Of course the Marines were there to help along with several other military branches of service. BELOW: Proudly wearing Marine jackets given to us as Christmas presents, me, Glenn and [Mrs] T. with Kristinn enhanced the pic with his sign and VAFlagwaver looks on.

BELOW LEFT: Usually these two walkers come by as we are setting up. But were late today as they were walking into a head wind. BELOW RIGHT: Fraxinus and me on the southeast corner.

BELOW LEFT: VAFlagWaver doing what her screen name says. BELOW RIGHT: Rlmorel and Veeram with me and iMacMan in back ground. Have to give extra coverage of Rlmorel and Veeram since they don't get to D.C. from Massachusetts very often. They came down primarily for the Walter Reed 3 Year Anniversary. After this FReep, they went to Arlington for a personal tour of the living quarters of the guards of the Tomb of the Unknowns. Dinner at the Olney Compound was extremely interesting as they related their tour.

As summer gets closer iMacMan is getting itchy feet to get his boat out on the water. So enjoy his great pics of passing supporters while you can.

BELOW: And the 3 lonely moonbats. After having problems with the wind, the moonbats finally got it up. FYI, the 3rd. moonbat showed up a half hour late for a one hour protest. So actually they had 2 1/2 moonbats.
BELOW: New moonbat sign.
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.

Hold it! Hold it! Hold it! I was there. The "only 'red-phone' moment was: Do we eat here or at the next place?"I'm afraid your report requires the willing suspension of disbelief."
See, admitting that I'm lying is better than running for president.
Gotta go. Catch you sometime on the flip flop.

Great AAR !!!!

Ping !
Semper Fi bttt ...
Great pictures.
Thanks to all who participated.
They ‘define’ the word PATRIOT.
BTTT.
HAHAHA! LOL!
We actually had 17. James, who frequently commented, "I just got out of the hooskow, and thought I would stand with you all," started a little late. He seemed nice enough, but I would refrain from giving him rides until he changes his life a little, and you get to know him better.
After we broke up, I treated him to a sub at Quiznos. I should have mentioned to the Quiznos people that I went in because of the guy who holds the sign every week on our corner, but I forgot. James was very grateful. I got to know him a little, but I won't share in the thread some of the issues he is dealing with as they might embarrass him. He said he will try to come this week as well. We'll have to wait and see.
What a patriotic looking group! Boy do the hats and jackets make for wonderful pictures.
The “new moonbat” sign looks like something out of the Soviet revolution.
Yeah, either that or a high school art class.
>The “new moonbat” sign looks like something out of the Soviet revolution.
Yeah, doesn’t it. Everybody at the FReep was wondering what it was all about.
We couldn’t quite make it out from our corners, so I took this close-up so we could try to later. I still don’t understand what it’s about. What’s the deal with the “bite” out of the center top? Anybody got any ideas?
-iMM
Actually I’ve seen some good artwork from some high school kids. But if you look at the generic artwork that came out of the soviet revolution, that’s what I’m talking about. No personality.
The bite I think is just an effort to make the ‘blast’ hole look more real. I guess.
Have you seen those Tshirts that say “unleash the animal in you” where it looks like some creature is clawing out through the shirt? I think that’s what they were going for. But then why the hugging people in the corner? Crying in fear because of the horrible ‘war machine’ coming through the surface?
Nice photos!
Great AAR and awesome pictures! Look at all those handsome men and the 2 blondes taking those pictures! You all ROCK!

Thanks to everyone for a great weekend-I enjoyed the Olney freep very much...it has a very different flavor from the WR Freep, and it was nice to be in the sun, even if it was a little chillier!
You all do a great job down there-it was good to see the moonbats ignored by the motorists, for the most part.
You have FreepMail!
