Move America Forward's Support Our Troops bus tour makes a stop in Denver for a rally on Wednesday September 21st

The only FReepers I know of who were there were myself and 'jan in Colorado'.

Me, 'ajolympian2004' holding sign promoting the Support Our Troops rally

After departing the rally in Cheyenne earlier in the morning I came up with the idea of downloading the .jpg file from the Support Our Troops Weekend website to create a sign that the Move America Forward bus tour folks can use as a placard for their podium. FedExKinko's came through in less than an hour. Looks great! IMHO...

Another view of the gathering

Probably had 40 people show up, many who heard about the rally on the Mike Rosen show at KOA 850am. Last minute posting of rally site details reduced the opportunity to get out the word.

Thanks for your report and pictures! Here is one I wanted to post on my report, but I had to wait until you unveiled "your" awesome poster!

I think the Rocky Mountain Military moms sign says it all!

HONOR the troops Support their mission.

I wish mine could be seen better...It says...FREEPERS SUPPORT OUR TROOPS

Call your VFWs in the towns on this tour, call the military bases and have wife support groups get active.

Call all your friends and family along the route...don't let SIN-dy go unprotested and don't let the troops go unsupported.

Just got back from the Omaha rally.
Very small crowd, but very inspiring!
Go to this if possible.

Yesterday I sent the rally website to all the American Legion, VFW and VVA folks I could find in VA (within a couple of hours of D.C.).

Only person I heard back from was a hyperventilating liberal, asking me why Dubya's daughters weren't in Iraq. LOL

[BushisTheMan]

I should have known Coop that you'd be on it.

Have I said thank you for all you do? If not, thank you!

[Coop]

You're welcome, but there are a lot of folks that do a whole lot more!

[ajolympian2004]

That's an excellent photo! Maybe we should take over for the Denver Post and Rocky Mountain News photographers! ;)
