May 19 Veterans Parade and Resource Center Richmond VA
PJMedia ^ | 1 May 2012 | Unknown

The politics of the Afghanistan and Iraq wars is not the issue here. This is about thanking the men and women who have seen two, three or four deployments to faraway places. It’s an opportunity to show our appreciation to folks who have missed Christmases and weddings and even the births of their children so that our families can sleep safely at night.

DC Chapter Master Ping List

Our brave military and concretebob need your support.

This is probably as close of a location to Washington, DC that there will be a Veterans Parade to thank our military.

Time to stand up for our military.

RE your Freepmail PJMedia: I have no explanation. I don't get any warning.
It could be the request to sign up for email updates from PJMedia that does it.

Monthly donor to FR. and give extra for family during the freepathon...boy do I wish I had more to give.

CB sent mail about donation....$ for all of us are in short supply. Wish I could make something to sell. They would benefit much more.

Your patriotic crafts are most excellent. There is a fund raiser dinner on May 15 but that might be short notice to buy things, make them and get them to CB to raffle off.

I had dinner with Andi and her Colonel last weekend.
Just lucky. They had a dinner date with another couple who were also going to the same function I was attending.
Andi sends her love and says she misses all of you.
It was a treat to see them again.

Oh and this weekend I'll be at the Milblog Conference in Arlington.

OK Freepers:
Last call for Welcome Home Richmond Parade on Saturday 19 May
Parade starts at Kensington Ave on the Boulevard (VA Historical Society) and travels south on the Boulevard to the Carillon, (our WWI Memorial)
There will be a Veterans Resource Center setup with VSO’s, gov’t agencies and corporations recruiting veterans.
St Louis put 100K people on the street in January and didn’t have a resource center.
Its May in Virginia, it don’t get no better.
We need boots on the ground.

Blackfive picked it from me
