The kids really like getting their flags.

Roanoke's Firemen and EMTs stop by to help out.

Local Radio Station WJJS broadcast the flag give away and stopped by to provide live coverage of the event

Virginia State Police show up to support the flag give away. Freemasons from all over the Roanoke Valley came to help.

The second entrance to the mall is manned and ready.

When I showed up at the mall the Masons were unloading their cars and setting up for the flag and ribbon giveaway.

I stayed for about an hour and left just as the mall was starting to get busy. I was told by the event organizer that they would be staying until every flag was given out.

The kids that came by really liked getting the flags.

I had to leave early so I get ready to attend the Support the Troops Rally in Lynchburg, Virginia

It's not often you get to attend two Pro-American, Pro-Troops events in one day.

Sorry the pictures didn't post the first time.

Of course, I love American Flags...

but I gotta say, I'm getting a little burned out on the yellow ribbons...

and while I'm talking about it, if you do display an American Flag, please take the time to do so correctly...

and remember an American Flag is not to be left out all night unless it is lighted...

further please replace them and dispose properly of the old one when they become soiled and no longer fit for display!

ITS A TRAP AMERICA! The Masons created this war to divert attention from their control of the banks, business and government. /sarcasm.

You should have posted a "tin foil hat" alert. Good job Virginny Freemasons!

[Clemenza]

Have you seen the Irish and American flags flying from the building at 95th and 4th in Da Ridge? Time for a replacement folks...

[nopardons]

Thanks for the post AND redoing the pictures, so we all could see them !

[Nitro]

I'll swing by and see what I can do...

even if it means offering replacements and caring for the old!

The classy people live in the 80's not the 90's.

[Howlin]

You'll love #5!

[nopardons]

Yep, saw it and I did. I just ferverently pray, that the usual tinfoilers don't show up and ruin this thread. :-)

[Howlin]

Aren't you the dreamers. Or maybe they're all on the Bash Bush thread!

[Nitro]

Isn't this supposed to be the "Dark Shadows" house?

[nopardons]

They are AND you're fighting them now, as I did earlier.

BTW, thanks for the ping. :-)

[Howlin]

Did they call you a socialist, too? They called me one!

[Clemenza]

Are they still remodeling that place?

(To keep this within the theme of the thread, I'm willing to bet the guy who built that was a mason. Wonder if he belonged to the lodge on 4th between 91st and 92nd).

[nopardons]

Oh sheeeeeeeeeeeeeesh ! No, I somehow escaped that ad hominem.

When they fail to refute, factually, they just call names. If they had a glimmer of an idea, about politics, it might not be quite so bad; however, coupled with their political naivety and do nothing but complain behaviors, it's pointless to even attempt to get through to them .

[Nitro]

I was thinking about the old one that used to be across from what used to be the K. of C. on 76th and 4th.

I forgot about that other one, between the restaurant and the electric shop?

I recall the "tools of the master builder" thing on the awning/in the window, they were very, very faded but I see things others don't.

HA! Freemasons are responsible for THIS:

It's all part of their diabolical plan...

[firewalk]

bttt

[wrbones]

I was gonna say for those who are a little farther to the right, this is scary news!
