Thanks for not showing the new FReeper the kittens.

Kittens can get nasty when angered.

"I will be holding only a USMC flag..."

Please wave it a few times for me.

I'm going off to grieve now that I can't be there to see it.

God's speed and send pictures.

Wouldn't it be cool if the President came out and greeted the people in attendence? I know it probably would never happen, but wow, what a moment that would be. I'd also think it'd be cool if he went and told that lady that her son is a hero and she should be proud that he served his country, and then walk away. In other words, be a gentleman's gentleman.

[Michael Goldsberry]

Will do.

Thank you Leapfrog.
We're not in Texas anymore,
I'm a Tarheel Pirate now.
We buried a child in Texas, our first son.
Our second "Texan" is active duty USMC.
The third "Texan" loves his brother and hears all this garbage and can't quite bear to think about the possibilies. Who can?
And the baby girl loves all her USMC "bros".
If you all only knew how grateful I am,
how many tears are falling now....

This one's for you Leapfrog and all who can make it:

When you are a soldier I will be your shield
I will go with you into the battlefield
And when the arrows start to fly
Take my hand and hold on tight
I will be your shield, 'cause I know how it feels
When you are a soldier

When you're tired from running
I will cheer you on
Look beside you and you'll see you're not alone
And when your strength is all but gone
I'll carry you until you're strong
And I will be your shield 'cause I know how it feels
When you're a soldier

This just gives me chills reading about it (in a good way)!

I so wish I could be there. Will be cheering you on...and watching for you on the news!

Awesome job, folks!

[Huber]

lol!

[Huber]

Respectfully disagree. The organizers are getting the best advise from a number of sources with considerable experience in these rallies. Have faith! They're doing all the right things.

[Halls]

Just so you all know Darrell Ankarlow who does a radio show out of Dallas and very popular on KLIF is holding a rally for the troops as well tomorrow morning in Crawford at 9am. So, it appears there will be events going on all day long. Darrell's son Adam has been in Iraq fighting for this country so Darrell is taking this Sheehan thing a little personal and he wants more Conservatives in Crawford this weekend than Liberals.

Eagles up guys!

[Michael Goldsberry]

I second that. THIS one's for Our Troops!

[processing please hold]

If needs be...he/she will learn the hard way. :-)

I'm looking forward to meeting FReepers tomorrow. See ya at Crawford.

[2nd amendment mama]

In order to have a rally you need to get a permit from the local police and they tell you where you can set up! Obviously you've never set anything like this up.

[processing please hold]

He was listening to both of us. :-)

I hope it's a good turnout. God bless or military and Dubya.

[Buffalo Bob]

Basil; I'll be bringing up a Katy contingent. Last word was we may have about 16 motorcycles heading your way. Veterans, parents of active military, and just good old folks ready to show our support for the Troops. You'll know us when you see us...trust me! My 12 yr old daughter will accompany me, it's her first rally.

Looking forward to meeting you, and many other fine folks!!

[gidget7]

I hope you FReepers have a few signs that honor her sons death, especially since his mother isn't! Wish I weren't so far away, would love to do so myself!

[Humidston]

LOL - My daughter was too!!

[freema]

He is Good! Look what's comin' from Katy!

KaKaKaKaty, beauuuuuuuuuutiful Katy!

Bless you, Buffalo Bob, and thank you.
Katy holds hard precious memories of our first son.
Angels all around you.
