Just talked to Basil on site in Crawford, Texas. Currently there are about 100 folks there helping to set up. They have not received word about the caravan arrival in Waco yet. JimRob is riding with the caravan. She thinks it might get to Crawford around 1:00 p.m.
Basil says the stage is set up, the sound system is excellent and they have hung the most beautiful banners overnighted by W04Man on the stage. A big thanks for the banners, they are much appreciated!
Someone arrived early and hung yellow ribbons everywhere.
They have an American flag that is about 50 feet by 40 feet. Children of military personnel serving in the Middle East have written notes to their parents on the stripes of this flag. A very touching thing to behold.
The HOT Chapter booth is being unloaded right now. The will sell buttons made by Angelwood to help off set costs.
Someone rented the Community Center for our use so there is access to AC. However, they also have 10 tents set up. And there is a Moonwalk for the kiddos.
To top everything else there is BBQ on the grill! Basil is the official taster and says it is great!
That is all the news I have at the moment. It is hard to get a cell phone connection to Crawford but when I hear more I will try to update everyone.
Thanks for the update, Lord oh Lord I wish I was there.
Nugent's wife said that the pro Ditch Witch people were following children home from school to ask if they could use the bathroom and showers and just harrassing them. I couldn't believe this.
Just saw a snippet of the caravan coming in. We're going to see more in a minute - FOX news.
I just saw Nugent's wife on with Moose. She is great!!
Safe trip back for her and a hug for you.
I am on the tracks of a troll right now. but will keep you informed.
Thank you to your daughter and your family for your continued support of our country, our President and our wonderful military!
Yeah, sometimes the inadvertantly post something fair about the opposition within their large and fawning reports on Camp Cindy.
Yes, two horseman riding in with the US flag.
The trolls are out in force today.
Don't Nugents live in Crawford now?
Yes, Central Time...so it is 1:00 PM right now.
Glad you could join in the fun...
Two guys on horseback carrying flags - rightside up. Must be pro-troops folks.

I believe the Nugents do live in Crawford.
Shemane Nugent also said that there were death threats against some town residents who were first to speak out against the camp casey folks and a bomb threat against The Yellow Rose which is near Camp Quall.
Yes. I believe Ted is in NY doing a concert so he won't be attending.
Are the protest warriors there???
I'm fairly positive I saw a Protest Warriors banner.
