Some of the best reporting to come out of Normandy in the aftermath of the D-day landings. Even across the gap of years, his words are incredibly powerful. Column 1 A Pure Miracle NORMANDY BEACHHEAD, June 12, 1944 - Due to a last-minute alteration in the arrangements, I didn’t arrive on the beachhead until the morning after D-day, after our first wave of assault troops had hit the shore. By the time we got here the beaches had been taken and the fighting had moved a couple of miles inland. All that remained on the beach was some sniping and...

FRONT GATE NOTES Tonight was warm with high winds and occasional showers as a cold front began pushing through the area. The DC Chapter had an energetic crew and was joined by visitors who had made Walter Reed a destination after attending the DC Tea Party. VictoryNY kept the cheers going and passing cars responded with honks and waves. The big bus returning from dinner with wounded warriors and their families, had just turned into Walter Reed, when a large ambulance roared down Georgia Ave and turned into Walter Reed, right behind the returning bus. These ambulances carry wounded...

b> FRONT GATE NOTES On April 9, 2010, the DC Chapter of Free Republic recorded Five (5) years and 260 consecutive Friday nights at the Front Gate of Walter Reed supporting and honoring our wounded warriors and their families. Five years ago, the DC Chapter countered Code Pink’ s hateful and vile anti-war and anti-military protest at the front gates of Walter Reed. It was a confrontative period until the DC Chapter obtained a DC Permit to hold all four corners at the front gate. Since then we have manned all four corners with flag waving, sign holding supporters of...

<p>If you come to Washington DC this time of year you need to be prepared for anything from 35 degrees or colder and rainy or sleet, to 70 degrees or more, warm and sunny. From now through May you can get either of these, and this from one day to another.</p>

Week 253, February 19, 2010 - After surviving the Great Blizzard of 2010, the DC Chapter continued supporting the wounded warriors and their families for the 253rd consecutive Friday evening. FRONT GATE NOTES Snow continued to melt, but a brisk wind made for a very chilly evening. Traffic on Georgia Ave was moderate and the drivers honked as they passed. Two buses returned from taking the wounded warriors and their families to dinner. The forecast is calling for 2 to 3 inches of more white stuff Thursday, a sign that winter is subsiding. WRAMC Anti - War Protester News Four...

Two more nights braved by FReepers out guarding the entrance to Walter Reed Army Medical Center, keeping the moonbats at bay! Not that the Code Pink moonbats are much of a problem anymore. They only managed three people on the second night. More, the Code Pink leaders long since abandoned their own people and haven't been seen for two years or more. It's now a union operation. We had a relatively big snow storm at the end of December but fortunately most of that's gone. Now it's just... chilly. Mid to low 20's isn't so bad but the wind was...

It began during our Support the Troops Friday night rally and ended early Sunday morning leaving 21 inches on the ground. But it didn’t scare the DC Chapter of Free Republic away from its 244th consecutive Friday night at the front gates of Walter...

Those who believe that President Barack Obama should ignore Vice President Joe Biden's advice about a "small footprint" and give Gen. Stanley McChrystal additional troops to complete the administration's mission in Afghanistan have been slow to make one of the strongest arguments: More means less. That is, sending more troops likely means less risk for the troops already there. Currently, there are about 66,000 U.S. troops in Afghanistan, and McChrystal has recommended that Obama send more — perhaps as many as 40,000 — to help carry out a counterinsurgency strategy. So I was glad that Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., cited...

Let's pretend.If the murderous bloodshed of September 11, 2001 had taken place while Barack Obama were President of the United States, and his reaction and subsequent retaliation had followed precisely the path that George W. Bush had taken, undoubtedly he would not only have been branded the greatest wartime commander in the history of all humankind by the mainstream media, but he would have garnered my support without a scintilla of equivocation.If, however, under the same scenario, with the rubble in lower Manhattan still smoldering, President Obama would have called for an immediate summit of Muslim leaders (and a task...

I just got on my facebook page a few minutes ago, and an airsoft buddy of mine on there invited me to join a group called "Don't Support the Troops? Think about this." This was the first thing I saw upon checking the group out: It may take you two minutes to read this. If you do not take the time to read this, you are probably one of the people this post is talking about. ____________________ You stay up for 16 hours They stay up for days on end. _________________________ You take a warm shower to help you wake...
