Friday night at Walter Reed was mild but windy, but this morning at Olney was very chilly and windy. Do I hear violins yet from our northern FReepers? Our saving grace was Pam Cole from Blue Star Mothers of Maryland, who brought ALL us hot cocoa from Starbucks. The "Old Line Chapter" was formed this past July 01, 2007.
BELOW TOP: Pam arriving with the hot cocoa. BELOW BOTTOM: Chilly FReepers gathering like bears to a honey pot.
BELOW: We also had a Joe Falcione (at left of pic) from www.reliantfilms.net stop by. He wants to start shooting short clips of patriotic Americans supporting our troops and post them on YouTube and other places. He says that he is trying to counter all the negative videos about our troops. If anyone has any info on Falcione, please let us know. I would like to have FReepers filmed by him but not before I find out more about him. His web site seems pretty neutral.
Onto our regular features.
And iMacMan once again is our high light. If you are tiring of his pics, we aren't. iMacMan is a "cold weather" FReeper, so during the summer we will not have his great pics. So enjoy them now.
Left pic is guy pulling airhorn.
And then there is this great supporter, waving all the way thru the intersection:
For the third Saturday in a row, we had 10 "PATRIOTS". Our group included Legionnaires Glenn (USMC - Iwo Jima) Halsey (USMC - Korea), Frank (Army - Korea), and Lurker Bill, BufordP, Cindy_True_Supporter, Eager, iMacMan,, [Mrs] Trooprally and my self.
iMacMan and [Mrs] T took the great pics this week.
BELOW LEFT: Back of BufordP and Glenn. iMacMan just loves Glenn's jacket. BELOW RIGHT: Eager with BufordP in foreground and [Mrs] T in back ground.
BELOW LEFT: [Mrs] T taking pics of our right flank with BufordP and Eager in fore ground. What? What did BufordP say? Sounded like: "Haaaay, what about me!! Take a picture of me!!. BELOW RIGHT: [Mrs] T obliging BufordP.
BELOW LEFT: Cindy_True_Supporter and Halsey. BELOW RIGHT: Me, iMacMan and BufordP. Is it me or is BufordP in a lot of pics this AAR?
BELOW LEFT: Another good pic of Eager with iMacMan and The BufordP in the back ground. BELOW RIGHT: The Three Musketeers.
BELOW: And part of the original Fantastic 4our, Lurker Bill holding down our right flank.
BELOW: Token pic of 6 of the 7 moonbats. Their faux marine has not been out for several weeks now. And last time he was out he was placid, almost like he finally took his psychotic meds. As Legionnaire Glenn says, "He ain't no Marine" because if he was, he would have had more dedication to his cause.
WALTER REED
March 28 is Walter Reed's THREE YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!! Come on out and join us for a "real big shoo". Details as the planning unfolds.
REMEMBER
Next Saturday, same place, Georgia Avenue, MD Rte. 97 and MD Rte. 108 in Olney

As always, the D.C. Chapter's rules for protesting will be in effect. Briefly, they are: No violence, no profanity, no racism, no provocations, obey the law and treat all law enforcement officers with respect.
But a lot of verbal engagement in Olney is always welcome.
If you live in northern VA and want a short cut to Olney See Post 39 Here. It's an easy 20 minute drive from the American Legion Bridge.
A special Thanks to a FReeper FRiend for enhancing the original plain type directions.

Great report and awesome pictures! Way to go, Pam for saving the day with hot cocoa! Keep outnumbering those moonbats. Thanks Olney FReepers for supporting our troops!
Warm up a little and remember that Barack says there is hope, change is coming, Spring is in the air and the sap is rising!
Soldier's Mother Told She Cannot Fly
American Flag or Blue Star FlagTERESA RICHARD, whose son, Cpl. Tony Donihee, is serving in
Afghanistan, says that when Donihee was leaving her East Windsor home
after his last visit, he saluted the flags she had flying. The condo association
where Richard lives says she must take down her flags.
Her response: No way.LINK: http://www.theodoresworld.net/archives/2007/02/soldiers_mother

Lunch bump!
You guys n gals are an inspiration! Thank you!
Loved the report!
Glenn must have a new jacket...? Wonderful!
BufordP, Glad to see your face, back, tummy and legs in so many shots this week!
Photobucket blocked at work. Can’t see the pics. Have no idea what you all are talking about. Should I be concerned? Mrs T didn’t make my butt look big in any of the pics did she?
NO!! Butt gorgeous as ever! LOL
You are just in the majority of pictures, and some remark about not forgetting to include you, made for my comment!
End of your day coming and you can check it at home.

Now Walter Reed will be something different. I have snow shovels packed and some salt. Saturday in Olney should be clear, but we may have to shovel the walk we stand on.
[Mr] T
Sounds Like the association has no testicles to push any further. Hopefully their threats are the end of it.
[Mr] T
Neat stuff. We have a Blue Star Banner with our son’s name and branch of service hanging in our front window. no shirts or mouse pads - yet.
