Hi - Missed you and your lovely daughters!! Hope you are having a wonderful vacation.
Makes sense - the night staff does not have as much to do, so they have the time to manage the new admissions. I plan to be in the DC area in September, so please add me to the ping list. I'd like to join you.
Have added you to the DC Chapter ping list. Hope that you can join us.
The night-time admissions are based on the flight schedules and other logistics. Planes with patients come in from Europe and the Middle East to Andrews Air Force Base in the late afternoon or early evening. Some patients are checked by doctors at the AF hospital and most are transported after the rush hour gridlocked traffic has died down, so they don't spend too much time in traffic delays.
I hope that you've had a great visit to the U.S.
I wish you could have joined us, but I understand that you had many places to visit.
Above is my report of what happened that night. You should understand that my various comments about Halliburton and carrier pigeons were jokes that may not translate well.
Great review, rackatoot!
AbsoFReepinglutely!
Absolutely the best write-up yet. Thank you for doing this each week.
Thanks for your report. That`s just what I belive in: support the troops that are fighting for our Freedom. When I`ll be back home I`ll sedd you and all Freepers the pics I took in Washington. They are great!!!
You may have followed the story of Cindy Sheehan. She has been "turned" to the anti-war side by radical leftists exploiting her grief.
It's the same ploy the Code Pink is trying, without much success so far per the report above, on war-wounded patients and relatives of patients at Walter Reed. You may see the same tactics of leftists in your own cities.
Kudos for a great report and photos. Take care.
Way to step up to the plate gang! Outstanding job!
4-CORNER FREEP! You guys rock!
What would happen if you arrived earlier than the pinko stinkos and took all four corners before they got there? Do they have it reserved or something?
Excellent report Bill. Y'all are doing a great job! Wish I could be there.
Speaking of stepping up to the plate, literally ... ;*)

Thanks for the kind words.
They have a permit.
I think that would be too provocative to take all corners and block them, even if they didn't have a permit.
It appears that Cindy Sheehan was a mildly anti-war anti-Bush person. Pinkos and other leftists have exploited her grief to turn her into a full scale Bush-hater and war protestor. The Pinkos are at Walter Reed to likewise try to "turn" war-wounded troops and their family members and then exploit them for the left's twisted propaganda purposes. Their other goal is to demoralize the troops.
There have been sixteen of these FReeps so far. Amazingly, considering that the DC area is a liberal bastion filled with hardcore radical left-wing activists, we have outnumbered them for ten weeks now.
Below are links to threads from two of the earlier FReeps in the series and in which we had direct interactions with National Chief Pinko Medea Benjamin and/or DC Chief Pinko Gael Murphy. The photos are hyperlinked. Clicking on them pulls up a larger version.

On the heels of an historic rout of the Code Pinkos on July 1, FReepers continued to frustrate the hate-filled Pinkos and their evil scheme as police ordered a stunned and distraught DC Chief Pinko, Gael Murphy, back to her side. FReepers of the DC Chapter and FReepers from elsewhere achieved the decisive victory on Friday night, July 8.
This was the 13th FReep of the unlucky Code Pinkos as FReepers hinder the Pinkos' evil scheme: to fake friendship with soldiers in hopes of finding one or more who, vulnerable in their wounded state, can be manipulated into joining the anti-war movement and breaking faith with their fellow troops. Many of the most severely wounded troops from the war in Iraq and Afghanistan are taken to Walter Reed for continued treatment and rehabilitation. The Pinkos other goal is too demoralize those wounded troops.

CLICK TO HEAR SOUND FILE (OR RIGHT CLICK TO SAVE AND LISTEN LATER) (76 sec, 826 K): This starts with Murphy accusing us of being filled with hate. (Laughable. She is so filled with hatred of us that she has to come over to get in our faces, but we try to keep away from her.) At one stage, she tells me to "shut up." (Right, not too much hate there.) I argued that we supported the troops, but the only troops they support are the "Iraqi resistance, the terrorists." bmwcyle is also in the sound file.

For the forth time in just over 4 weeks, DC Chapter FReepers conducted a FReep of Code Pink's anti-war protest at the gate of Walter Reed Army Medical Center, where many of the most severely wounded troops from the war in Iraq and Afghanistan are taken for continued treatment and rehabilitation. The FReep of the leftists' obscene blood dance was on the Friday night, April 29.
[snip]
Code Pink co-founder Gael Murphy and Code Pink chief founder Medea Benjamin separately came over to talk to us, each for at least twenty minutes. Below are sound bites, WAV files that you can click on to hear or right click and save for later listening.
[snip]
*SOUND FILE (64 sec, 481 K): Benjamin discusses Afghanistan and infiltration with BillF, BufordP, and Always Free. After Buford mentions Muslim FBI translators who refuse to blow the whistle on fellow Muslims, Medea says that maybe our country is infiltrated. "You're an infiltrator in this country, too," is what I said to Medea.
SOUND FILE (74 sec, 690 K): Benjamin tries to explain the contradiction between her alleged friendship with military members and the Code Pink view of our military as "killers."
SOUND FILE (28 sec, 310 K): kristinn applauds no terrorist attacks in the U.S. after Sept 11, but Benjamin decries an increase around the world. BillF says the increase is caused by her friends.
*SOUND FILE (100 sec, 1.1 M): Benjamin talks about working with ANSWER. She describes ANSWER as Stalinists who are "nasty, angry."
*SOUND FILE (50 sec, 1.1 M): Benjamin says that neither of our respective sides is as bad as the other says, but kristinn disagrees with respect to them not being as bad as we think they are. BufordP corrects Medea when she accidentally lets the flag touch the ground. Medea says "I like you guys. I love your Mother of All Banners."
SOUND FILE (55 sec, 592 K): Benjamin won't back Hillary in '08, but she says that she normally backs a candidate who finishes in third place or below.
*SOUND FILE (46 sec, 506 K): Benjamin explains her choice of "Medea" as a first name. She claims that Medea really did not kill her children.

Bump for the war wounded troops at Walter Reed and elsewhere.
A milestone: we've outnumbered them ten weeks in a row.
