DC Chapter Master Ping List

THIS IS A MUST SEE VIDEO by DCPW1776 as in DC Chapter of Protest Warriors. It may be long but it is absolutely well worth it.

It brings back some most excellent memories that sent chills down my back and got me misty eyed, something I don't do often.

Makes one proud to be patriot that supports our troops.

See cameo pics of JimRob, Kristinn, Angelwood, tgslTakoma, Doctor Raoul, BillF, Spiff, and a host of others.

Don't forget our 6 YEAR ANNIVERSARY on April 8.

[trooprally]

God Bless all who have helped make Walter Reed a success by your presence, well wishes and donations.

The video shows smiling and appreciative soldiers who came out to thank us.

[USMCPOP]

Oohrah!

[hsalaw]

That’s a wonderful montage - and great music! Thank you and God bless all of you who do so much to support our wounded heros!

[basil]

This is great! Thanks for putting it together...

[basil]

This is great! Thanks for putting it together...

[onemiddleamerican]

Beautiful!

[trooprally]

I didn’t put it together, just the messenger. DCPW1776 was the author and I am sure it took hours to go thru the pictures.

And great it is.

[JamesA]

Makes one proud to be an AMERICAN.

[basil]

I don’t think I’ve ever met DCPW1776. Anyway, thanks to him for his hard work.

You're chopped liver. Get over it. Just be glad you're not chipped beef.

Absolutely first class summary of all of our worthwhile commitment to supporting the wounded warriors.

There have been an awful lot of great people standing on Friday nights at Walter Reed’s front gate.

Buford

You seem to have an “in” with FReeper CHOPPED LIVER, so please tell “IT” that I only mentioned those who have basically moved away or were early regulars who haven’t been seen for a longggggg while.

I apologize to Chopped Liver and those not mentioned.

I was going to post the same video, got the email from Bev :) Walter Reed is scheduled to close September this year!

Thanks To All The Great Patriots of Free Republic Who Have Stood Out in Front of Walter Reed Army Medical Center Every Single Friday Night For The Last 6 Years, In Support of Our Troops! Thank You For Your Tenacity, Dedication and In Rain, Sleet Or Snow, You Have Always Been There For Our Troops!

[proudmilitarymrs]

Thanks to one and all. Bump for home viewing

MR T.....FReeps are always thankful for your efforts and sense of dedication it takes to do what you do....YOUR support for our Military and their families WILL NOT go unnoticed. It must warm your heart immensely when you meet our troops and they THANK YOU for the support.....Oorah!!

Heroes inside Walter Reed and Freeper heroes outside. God will bless all of you for your devotion to each other and for your devotion to our country.

Mystery Solved!!

Our own LURKER BILL put the video together for the 3 Year Anniversary. He will be showing it again at the 6 Year Anniversary. One day Lurker Bill will get a FR screen name. But he can’t use “Lurker Bill” because there is already a LB.

In case anyone didn’t see Pleas Deal in any pics, it was because most of the pics were taken by here.

[Mr] T

[trooprally]

“Pleas Deal” = Plea Deal.

[trooprally]

Humbly I say you are welcome for me and [Mrs] T. We just organize but its those who show up that make FReeps successful.

[AppyPappy]

We made it at 19:39

[trooprally]

Glad to see you found yourself. Lots of most excellent memories under the bridge. I remember the day you were there. Kinda chuckled at your original screen name.

[Mr] T

[3D-JOY]

Now that was one of the most worthwhile 1/2 hours I have ever spent!

Thanks...I anxiously await the next 3 years version!

( Some of those signs were so good...what happened to them?)

[trooprally]

Yep, so signs sure have gotten worn in the past 3 years. But the ones that are still usable sure bring back memories. Your sign from last summer is waiting for you. We are keeping it warm.

[BufordP]

I keep mine in the garage.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Maryland PING!

[Yehuda]

Bump!

[Jim Robinson]

Congratulation DC FReepers! Well done!

Thank you all very much!!

God bless our troops!!

[trooprally]

You are welcome from the DC Chapter.

But if not for FReeRepublic I doubt if we would be there. Our troops might be getting the same treatment as our Vietnam Vets did if 15 years ago FR was not born. So kudos to you for your foresite and HAPPY 15th BIRTHDAY!

A lot better weather today than GoEI in March,2007. It will actually be in the 70s.

[Mr] T

[no-to-illegals]

This is a wonderful thread. Thank You trooprally for the thread, and BufordP, Thank You for the *ping*

[3D-JOY]

Some of your big signs are destined for the Smithsonian! I will sponsor them if necessary. They should be coming to you!

[3D-JOY]

I watched this all the way through and feared the visit of “W” or the bathing beauty. ( glad they were missed) Luckily even the crazy hats did not appear...

I love that baseball cap with the stars and stripes though, and was glad to see it several times (with the mismatched red and blue shoes).

Do I have to fear my crazy antics were after the third reunion date?

[trooprally]

ABSOLUTELY! When you are at WR we always look forward to your antics. after all, you are a new fresh face after a long winter looking at each other.

[Mr] T

[concretebob]

PING for a major blast. Livestream from Walter Reed in the works.
Standby

[concretebob]

PING to livestream from Walter Reed. Go to Blackfive.net Link is up

[kristinn]

Found it. Thanks!

[444Flyer]

(Thanks for the ping CBob.)

Job well done Patriots!

[trooprally]

How did the live stream look?

I know we got a lot of honks.

[Mr] T

[JoyjoyfromNJ]

Have to bookmark this to watch later at a cooperative computer. My heartfelt thanks to the stalwart defenders of the DC “four corners”. Sorry I couldn’t get there this weekend but hope to for the anniversary. God bless our troops!

[444Flyer]

The feed looked like it was from across the street. You could see ralliers on the other side of it. You all have become a landmark. I'm sure our troops feel supported and thankful for your faithfulness in showing up for them. A great morale booster I'm sure.

Keep up the good work.:)

War Pigs Pinko Style

This should go viral.

[trooprally]

Thanks. As usual, great videos.

I’ll get it into the AAR.

Also asked Kburi to get “Bruce Goes Mad” into the WR AAR if it is not too late.

[Mr] T

[W04Man]

SORRY SORRY SO SORRY, IT IS 6 YEARS AT WALTER REED, NOT 3.

[WVNan]

What can I say? I cried. You guys are just too much. Thank you is not enough.

[seekthetruth]

You Betcha! And the DC/Virginia/Maryland area patriots who stand in support of our heroes, always take good care of their friends from the SunShine State! They had extra coffee on hand and even provided wonderful hand warmers to put in our gloves! They knew we Florida folks would REALLY feel the cold weather of February!

[trooprally]

Catching up a little, weren’t “they” in later years? We will see what pops up.

[Mr] T

[trooprally]

Your tears of joy are enough. Thank you.

[Mr] T

[3D-JOY]

Maybe ...we get sillier as we age! LOL

I remember the big “cat in the hat” was early, but then there was Darth Cheney too. W must have been a long time ago. Say, remember when someone else, had a great Jefferson(?) costume. I know I was not there that night.

We could almost do a video of great T-Shirts too!

Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
