I want to thank you for helping keep the rally visible here on FR. Here's hoping for a great day in D.C. for our troops.

[austingirl]

I'll be with you in spirit and look forward to your after-action report.

"I want to thank you for helping keep the rally visible here on FR."

I'm the one who owes you and the DC Chapter a Thank You
Good Luck tomorrow

[staytrue]

I'm back. I'll be there early, because I'm bringing 35 water bottles along with 15 sandwiches, and about 15 salads, and chips for those who get hungry.

[who knows what evil?]

I took note of the fact that the folks from protestwarrior.com state on their website that they will be gathering in the same locale as the DC Chapter tomorrow morning. At that point, they seem to be planning to 'engage' the ANSWER crowd at another location. Are you familiar with these guys? The protest signs, bumper stickers, and t's they have posted at their site are excellent! (NewsMax sent out a link to their site several days ago. ProtestWarrior mentions FR and the rally on their site.)

[Trteamer]

FReep the leftists for me gang!! Steal their limelight!! Spoil the lefty's party!! Tell the greenies to "Thank a Logger for your Lumber'!! Tell em "Spotted Owl tastes like Chicken"!! Smile and have a great time as the leftists walk by whining!!

Whining leftists, whine, whine, whine. Remind them that George Bush LIBERATED almost 50 MILLION people. Oh how I wish I could be there with you great FReepers. I will be anxiously awaiting the photos and reports.

Have a Blast!

Don't these antiwar nuts know they are playing in a park named after a war god???

One of America's most famous Army officers, Pershing was born in Missouri on September 13, 1860. He graduated from West Point in 1886 and served in the Spanish-American War, the Philippines Insurrection, the Mexican Expedition and was the overall American Commander in Europe during World War I. Following the war, he served as Army Chief of Staff.

He died at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington on July 15, 1948. His funeral service, one of only a handfull ever held at the Memorial Amphitheater in Arlington National Cemetery, was attended by literally thousands of American citizens as well as by the leaders of government and the military. He was buried, as was his wish, under a simple white gravestone in Section 34 of Arlington National Cemetery, near the gravesites of his "Doughboys" from World War I.
