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.
Yep, saw the horses. They were great!
FNC has been pathetic today. Every time that they mention the counter-demonstrations, they give us endless video clips of the Ditch Witch. Apparently they didn't have cameras in downtown Crawford.
Shame on FNC.
Fantastic MOABs, gals!
Sounds like a civil war. This will give the enemey hope.
This will put more energy into terrorist's camp.
Thank you! Great people!
The real Gold Star organization (founded in 1929) has placed a disclaimer on their web site stating sin'dee wasn't affiliated with their group.
It's a shame that some leftist/anti American idiot like sheehan can add "for peace" to an established pro American organization like the real Gold Star mothers. I'm sure it was an attempt to make it appear that the REAL group was the same as the anti American bunch.
Wolfstar advised that she will put it up Sunday this weekend do you think we ought to ping others to remind them
I just got back to Dallas and have my work cut out for me. Got a lot of good footage, though.
It is by no means an exhaustive documentary of what each speaker said (and they were all great). But it will give a good overview of the event.
Stay tuned.
He's a Freeper...I forget his name.
That was pathetic. he better have more than that. That stupid Hurricane aint hitting for two days.
This is happeneing NOW.....
I know many are upset with Fox for not having Live Coverage today
But FNC was the only station that actually told the truth about Cindy and the comments that she has made
So I'm not gonna dump on them
RE: PETA--They'd get run out of Crawford, TX pretty darn quick--wouldn't you love to see it???
Is the orange tee shirt on the next to last photo a Club Gitmo one?
