That was the woman who also said the only thing she is upset about is that she's not young enough to go fight in Iraq herself

I believe she said something closer to "if I was younger, I'd be there too" or maybe that last word was "now", or maybe "myself". Hearing is the third thing to go, maybe sooner if one is a shooter, which I am.

Sean Hannity just reported, albeit a short blurb, that the Freepers were there. :)

I spoke with he repeatedly over the course of the day, starting with when I saved her hat at the Ankarlo gathering around 9, lol! She is an AMAZING woman, as are all the mothers of soldiers. She just stands out to me because I had the opportunity to speak with her many times.

What she said to me was that "If I weren't (i forget her age), I'd be over there fighting right now!" Her basic point was, as far as I understood it, that the people screaming to bring back "their babies" need to be quiet because SOME mothers would go over WITH their sons and fight for what is right.

Again, what an amazing woman.
