On the Eve of "anti"-War at Walter Reed -- Week 93

Washington, DC, January 26, 2007-- Old Man Winter seems to have finally arrived in the Nation's Capital. It didn't get nearly as cold or windy as the pessimistic forecasters predicted, but is was no day at the beach.

Not a whole lot happened this Friday. We had FReepers from out of town who came to counter-protest the big United for Peace and Justice (and the Communist Way!) happening on the Mall on Saturday. The whole list of FReepers & FRiends in attendance last friday (If I missed anyone - please let me know!): Albion Wilde, Bill from MD*, BufordP, cf_river_rat and daughter Kristen all the way up from NC, Cindy-True-Supporter, Danielle*, Fraxinus, George & Ethel*, GunsAreOK, Jimmy Valentine's Brother, JoyJoyFromNJ, Just A Nobody, Kristinn, Lauren (Protest Warrior) and friend Meredith*, Olney-Keith, PleaDeal, PrezUSA222, Sarah from VA*, TFroatz, tgslTakoma, Tolerance Sucks Rocks, Tom the Redhunter, Trooprally [Mr.], VAFlagWaver.

In case you missed one or two, here are all the related pre- and post-rally reports.

A few of the sites from last week at Walter Reed's gates.

	Out-of-towners JoyJoyFromNJ, Kristen and Dad cf_river_rat from NC set up the Mother Of All Banners. tgslTakoma and Trooprally on either side.
	The MOAB is UP!
	Bill from MD*, Kristinn and Danielle* on the south side of Elder Street.
	tgslTakoma, Cindy-True-Supporter and Trooprally.
	Sarah*, newly minted FReeper Olney-Keith, JoyJoyFromNJ, VAFlagWaver and Ethel*.

With all the anti-American peace-niks in town, you'd think Code Pink could have rallied a few to join their "vigil" waaaaay down the block. It appears they had no takers and only turned over a few rocks to produce 11 anti-Troop sign holders.

It appears the Pinkos left their asbestos flags at home this week. Most likely, they didn't want the Hollywood comrades to question their (un)patriotism!	Billboard for the 'Peace' rally.
	This car was sporting nearly every left-wing wacko cliche sticker. Click on the pic to see them better.

We got lots of honks, waves and cheers from passing motorists which just goes to show that most people, even in a deep blue town like D.C., really DO support the troops!

The buses filled with wounded warriors and family coming back from
the weekly Fran O'Brien's dinner.

We'll be back out at Walter Reed Friday night, February 2nd, from 6:30 until at least 9:30 at the intersection of Georgia Avenue and Elder Street, NW in Washington, D.C.

The wounded warriors inside the hospital are heartened by the sight of ordinary citizens cheering for them and displaying our thanks for the service and sacrifice they've made on our behalf.

A couple hours this Friday night is very little to give compared to what they've contributed!

If you can't get to D.C. to join us but would like to do something for the wounded, you can find a wealth of ideas by FReep-mailing Albion Wilde, Cindy-True-Supporter, VAFlagwaver or PleaDeal.

If you can't stand seeing anti-war, communist backed, 60's throwback hippies and self-absorbed, ungrateful Gen-X'ers defiling the memories of those who gave all in Vietnam - join us for the Counter ANSWER march on the Pentagon on March 17th! Just A Nobody will be keeping all the logistics on this thread. Thanks Justa!

With Mrs Trooprally on sick leave, there's only one set of pics again this week and the whole collection can be viewed here.

I just told my dh if we ever manage a trip to DC it has to include a Friday night so we can join you. Thank you all so much for being there every Friday! You are fabulous!!!!

[Just A Nobody]

Thanks for the report PD and the plug for the 17th!

[R. Scott]

I need some help.
Within the last few days a post included the organizations supporting the anti-US demonstrations. I thought I had bookmarker it but - guess not. It was an impressive list of long time anti-American organizations.

BLTN!

I liked the format. Figures that the lefties would drive a Jap car and that it would proudly proclaim residency in the nuclear free Takoma Park.

I too had anticpated a large collection of lefties but guess they were holding a cabal with Jihad Jane and Susan Saranrap.
