My son and future daughter in law were there with me. We arrived to late to find the freepers. I was holding a large sign with a HUGE red,white and blue bow. It also had a small picture of my son in the corner. I started to yell "Yeah Freepers" and see who cheered. Too shy.

But it was great. The rally showed the troops that we all care except for just a few looneys.

Oh and I got my first e-mail from my son since he went into the desert. What a great day!!!

Me, my wife, and a friend were there too! We especially liked the pro-America dogs strutting about - wish we brought our two mutts.
Only complaint was MARTA - what a fiasco! Supposed to be easier than driving down and looking for a space - it wasn't. Wait times at stops were 20 minutes plus, train kept stalling along the way.
It was worth the trip though. Loved the Kimmer's speech and reading all the signs. I can't estimate crowds well, was surprised to hear 25,000, I was thinking maybe 10-15 grand. Regardless, lots of flags flying. Happy to hear the Pinkmont Park rally was a bust in comparison. Afterwards, sadly watched hated Duke destroy UNC.

I was somewhat late because of MARTA and their idiocy in closing a track at Lindberg for a renovation project on a day with a) this event b) the Auto Show c) the St. Patrick's Day parade d) the Gift/Craft show e) the model train convention and f) who knows what else going on downtown. The only reason I found everyone is that I had RobfromGA and dansangel's cell phone numbers. Next time we all try to meet at a big event, we'll have to do more exchanging of mobile numbers.
