Freepers ~ Please greet a special new member..(kind of a vanity....but mostly really good news)

Attention all FReepers ~ I just discovered that we have a very special new FReeper on board!
She hails from Jennerstown,PA. and signed on with us this past Sunday.
Get your ping lists ready and please help give this very special lady a really special Freeper welcome.

Freedom's Angel of Steadfast Love

Created by Lei Hennessy-Owen of Jennerstown,PA.,
this beautiful sculpture was given to the city of Crawford
in honor of President George W. Bush.

I know some of you will recogonize this sculpture as the angel
that looks over the Moving Americas Forward's Camp Qualls
in downtown Crawford. Well, it is my pleasure to introduce all y'all to
the artist, and new FReeper, 911angelady!!

The following is from 911angelady's newly created Freep page:

"My name is Lei Hennessy-Owen,I am a nationally known sculptor and artist,
best known for my giant steel angels at the crash sites of 911,
WTC site, Flight 93,and the Pentagon.

The town of Crawford received the fourth angel in honor of our Commander in Chief,
and the incredible leadership he has shown us through such tragic events.

President Bush's angel was installed the October 23, 2004, right before the election,
and you know I was praying for his win!!

Ever since 911, 2001 I have been traveling, doing fundraisers, speaking,
everthing I can do to influence people, and explain why I love my country,
what it means to be a true patriot, and why we are so lucky to live in the greatest nation on earth.
And NO!! I'm not a liberal, "airy-fairy" artist!!

I am also a proud Marine mom, my only son Jensen signed up
before he had even graduated from highschool, he is on his second tour of Iraq,
he is 20 yrs. old. LCPL Jensen S. Perry, Marines 2nd LAR unit 73520,
most recently on missions near the Syrian border.
Yes, I pray a lot!!!

I will be one of the MCs in Crawford,Tx,
I have helped to organize some of the events for our national Support Our Troops rally
along with Move America Forward and my good friend Bill Johnson in Crawford.
Look up my name on the internet and you will find articles on the angels.

I also work with Soldiers Angels, they have sponsored this trip to Crawford for me
and I am so honored to be a part of this rally.
I will be in charge of the candlelight vigils
Sat.Aug.27 and Sun.Aug.28. around the Crawford angel both evenings.

Please come up and introduce yourself,
I love hugs, especially from other "moms".

I hope we have 5,000 or more supporters in Crawford next weekend,
I will have a lot of photos with me on display from all three of the 911 crashsites,
including something the NYFD is giving me to present at this important rally.

See you there,
God bless all of you,
Lei Hennessy-Owen

Ping away y'all ....let's give this FReeper a great welcome and a big thank you!!!
