Several weeks ago, Legionnaire Dave’s lady friend asked for a special sign for this Saturday, VALENTINE’S DAY. Always one to oblige a lady’s request, (BELOW) she happily holds the sign with Dave. And additional waves and honks she got.
We had 10 Patriots: Legionnaires Glenn (USMC - WWII), Halsey (USMC - Korea), Dennis (Army- Korea) and Dave (Army - WWII) and Lady Friend, along with Lurker Bill and FReepers Cindy_True_Supporter, Eager, iMacMan and myself.
Pictures are by iMacMan
BELOW: More signs spread around our position.
BELOW LEFT: Lurker Bill, first on the corner with a sign. iMacMan is turning the corner while taking this pic. Wonder who was steering. The other two of us were on our right flank setting up. BELOW RIGHT: And Glenn with his real neat jacket.
BELOW LEFT: Dave and Halsey talking with passerby while iMacMan (BELOW RIGHT) is distracted. I guess he figured we need glasses and couldn't see the waves so he circled them. :-))
BELOW LEFT: Me, Cindy_True_Supporter and Lurker Bill. BELOW RIGHT: Eager without gloves on. Before the end of the FReep, he had them on. The chill was deceptive, especially after being out here for a while.
iMacMan got some interesting pics of passing supporters. On passenger sounded an air horn while yelling his support, one driver had both hands off the steering wheel, and the biker made the turn in front of us with one hand, or part of the turn. iMacMan had some camera problems and could only get a few of the passing supporters.
The moonbats gathered 7. They have changed some of their signs. No longer are there the impeach signs and other Bush related signs.

Good job Mr. & Mrs. TR. But, a question here - when are they going to go away. I thought for sure once O was in office, they’d pack up. What’s up?
The messiah isn’t moving fast enough for them. And then there is Afghanistan.
[Mr] T
Great AAR short, sweet, and too the point.
[Mrs T]
Nice to see all the smiling faces there this week!
[Mrs] T
Your bias is showing. I simple kiss on the cheek would have been ample kudos.
Mr] T
Yipper, Smiling Faces. Jeez, now I got that tune running thru my mind. And weather is getting warmer, a little at a time. Damn windy today though for WR.
[Mr] T
Great report and pictures (iMacMan) as usual. Wouldn’t expect anything less. Now I know how the special sign I was holding came about! Cool. Thanks [Mr] T!
I think I'll print out both you and her. Her nephew might better like the pic of you holding it then "auntie". :-))
Please private FRmail me your photobucket link.
[Mr] T
Great! Please thank your lady friend for her nephew’s service. I guess my pic will be thanks to him! I think he will like both pics as much as the other. I’m an “auntie” too ~ 3 times over! LOL :)
FRmail on the way.
