Grate pookie, she mentioned that.

Lots of flags around Saturday







This lady passed out a bunch of American Flags

Gold Star Father Mark Crowley was there with his wife. This is one cool guy, he traveled part way on one of the MAF caravans and shows up at almost all of the events to support the troops.

That is awesome Diva Singer Diane Nagy on the left. She belts out some powerful Patriotic Songs.

Does it surprise anyone else like me that none of the motorcycles weren't either ticketed or towed away by the city of Bezerkley??

Great seeing Melanie Morgan again. Since KSFO in San Francisco canned her, I haven't heard much from her.

God Bless You Melanie......

At one point Mel pointed (redundant I know) to across the street.


She was pointing at the fairies on bikes


They were swarming around the trash cans like flies.

I wish I had a better picture of this truck. I think it's a 1956 or so Chevy.


It had four flags on it, an American Flag and I believe the other 3 were of various branches of our Military
Behind that was a pickup with a sound system on it that a Patriot brought for the event. He is a neat guy, he bought the equipment and one of his sons ran it.

When Gold Star Father Mike Anderson, Sr. (Who's son Mike Anderson, Jr. was KIA in Iraq), Melanie greeted him warmly. They have been at many events together.


Here are a few more pitures of them together



Now for the formal picture of Mel, Mike and Diana.
Mike had to take his sunglasses off...





Then I had to get them all smiling at the same time...

This is Gold Star Mother Diane Layfield. Her son was KIA fighting for our security in 2004

She gave a very heartfelt speech supporting out Military and their mission.
This is the back of her shirt showing information about her Brave Son.

A few candid pictures of Mel and Doug.









I didn't quite get the full story, but that bottle of water has something to do with the Patriotic Citizens that guard our border in lieu of the government doing it.

They sure had a good laugh over it.

I'm always impressed by people that have real cameras.

We asked her who she represented, and which side she supported. (Because there were about 40 code pink, world can't wait and various other communist anti-Americans there)

She said she was just documenting the event, and wouldn't say any more.

Well, except to say she was from Pinch Me Media or something like that.

She said she didn't have a card, but she could leave a mark...I passed on that.

The Berkeley anti-American guy was only interested in communicating with her chest. I guess he doesn't know what ears are for.

Hey, Sync.....didn't you have a big black beard a while back?

Beard or no beard, that photo of you will have the Freeperettes swooning.

Hey, guys, we get to have our hotties, too!

Har, I take pictures so don't usually have any of me.

I believe the one you were thinking of was this one, taken in Crawford in '05 or so.

Taken by a Freeperette whom shall remain nameless...

It worked well for infiltrating Sheehan and Fonda events, and driving the clowns crazy.

LOL

I look almost normal these days...

:>)

Post #3, that guy in the background is Free Republic Member rogueyam. I used to be handsome like that young feller...
