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.
Ouch! That's gonna leave a mark.
The lamestream media will never give accurate numbers, and America knows it; trust the organizers. They will eb the most accurate.
Double posts tend to happen when FR is very busy. Don't worry about it. Just don't be too quick on the post button if you don't see your post come up immediately.
It takes a loser to know a loser! Sounds like you need a little attitude adjustment!!!!
Jonathan is not my responsibility until Monday...;)
LoL Yes FFforFreedom made a darn nice brisket!
I had to Laff that a younglady was chopping up watermelon with a machete there... I asked her if she was thinking about Cindy L0L
Camp Qualls
Well they will not keep the numbers for long with this crap.We could start our own TV news but need big backers for nation-Rupert Murdock=Fox .Be true to our troop-we need to email him with this .
I am mad as hell. What more can we do to be heard?
After all these years... despite the internet, talk radio and (the almost useless) Fox, we are still ignored.
Treated as though we didn't exist.
I guess they want us to 'Act Up.'
Take a parade down the middle of a street and get arrested.
I can't believe I am even thinking this!
But it is so frustrating!
Still, what you have done is magnificent.
Nothing can take that away from you.
It is so awful... the US press WANTS the US to lose the war. That is the only explanation.
I am just sick...
Do you mean this flag?
>
It was made by the children of serving military personnel.And it's BIG, maybe 20 feet tall?
THANK YOU! TERRIFIC!
THANK YOU! TERRIFIC!
THANK YOU! TERRIFIC!
Thank you to all who showed up to show their support to the troops and to show them that the vast majority of the American people support them and not like cindy sheehan who is supporting the terrorists.
I have pinged the dosers to remind them and also directed them over to this thread for great photos and comments
