Family kept [Mrs] T at home and a cold rain kept me from taking pictures and kept us from putting up our banners. But the flags were up on our flanks and in our middle on the ‘grassy knoll’ behind our position were our smaller parade flags. Still the Olney patriots stood our ground.
BELOW: Pictures from previous Olney FReeps.
The Patriots this Saturday were Legionnaire, Halsey (USMC - Korea), along with Lurker Bill and FReepers Cindy_True_Supporter, Fraxinus, and myself.
The moonbats numbered two. But since there was only one sign between them, the other just stood there and talked. And the one sign got rain soaked and is basically useless now.
We received our usual honks and waves even while breaking down the flags.
This is my AAR and I’m sticking to it!!

Good Evening!!
Good evening to both of you!
Glad to hear you were there on that busy Saturday.
Sorry to hear the weather was bad.
Good Morning to you both. Hope the Easter Weekend went well for you all.
Weather was bad but the sun came out for Westminster. It dried out the dripping wet U.S.-USMC flag pole.
Had a real good Easter Weekend other than the rain Saturday AM. Saw some grandkids before their heading out for a new location. Our nephew and family from Buffalo arrived about 5 minutes before I got back from Westminster. They stayed till Monday.

Careful what you ask for. The ACLU might do heart surgery on you and forget to put a new one back in. Then you’ll be just like them - heartless.
[Mr] T
Good job Olney Patriots even in the cold rain without pictures. You are always there and that’s what matters most.
Family kept Mrs. T and I both home so the men could hold down their respective forts! Thank you!
Yipper - missed you and Chris last Saturday. shame Westminster isn’t this Saturday, shorts weather.
We’ll have to see how your ghost writer does.
[Mr] T
