Guess it's up to me to represent the tobacco lobby.

Will discuss necessity of my presence at WRAMC with the lovely and beautiful Vivien Valentine.

Cigars up!

Buford is highly questionable, likely to be either out of town or needing rest after just returning. There is an off chance that he can go, but I won't know until tomorrow.

BMW is out of town per his post.

Smok'em if you got 'em

Thanks for pinging me BillF and for the post!

I just returned to Colorado after a fantastic week in DC. I must say, the highlight of my trip was FReeping with this awesome group of DC FReepers!

I am so glad I spent my Friday night outside Walter Reed Medical Center FReeping with you! You FReepers made me feel so welcomed and right at home.

It was so encouraging to hear the honks of support as the cars drove by and it was so touching as soldiers and their families slowed down to thank us for what we were doing!

Let me encourage everyone who can, to take the time to come out and support the troops outside of WRMC.It takes so little effort on our part, and yet means so very much to them.

I am so glad to have met all of you. Thank you for sharing your signs,chairs,food and your friendship.
FReepers are the BEST and I look forward to my next trip to DC.

God Bless all of you!

Bumping and hoping some folks in the D.C. area will realize this represents a wonderful opportunity to acknowledge and celebrate Independence Day and what it really stands for.

Are you bringing your digital camera tomorrow night? If so, I'll leave mine at home if you'll give me permission to use a shot or two on a website featuring traitors. And no, I'm not referring to the D.C. chapter there. :-D

It was great to meet you and Gondring, and to Freep the commie grrrls and girlie-men of Code Pink-O with you. We had a wonderful bunch of Freepers last Friday; and it was so very heartwarming to have so many people driving by and honking in support of our demonstration for the troops (and ignoring the lefties across the street).

I just pinged a couple of active Colorado Freepers, so that you can stay Freep-active back in your home state.

Great work last Friday. And THANK YOU BOTH for taking the time to stand with us at WRAMC against Code Pink-O!

Thank all of you who continue to walk the talk. I'm a bit old for traveling alone the 7 hours it would take me to drive there, and I don't have the money to fly. So, I am very jealous of the opportunity that you younger folks have to represent my feelings. Sigh.....I soooooo want to be there.

[Coop]

7 hours is a very long trip. There are others much closer who can stand for you. Just remember to thank and hug a veteran or two this Independence Day weekend! :-)

[Coop]

I'll see your bump and raise you one.

[Coop]

Here's something you could do from home to help our wounded troops, if you're so inclined. I'm not affiliated with any of these websites, but they seem to be doing great work.

Wounded Warrior Project

Operation Wounded Soldiers

Soldiers' Angels

Fisher House
