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.
It's raining i Crawford....freepers have enough sense to come in out of the rain...the rats have their ditch...LOL
I second that. My thanks to all who went in the heat today to show support and bring back pictures. Thanks from the bottom of my heart. It's all ammunition and it sure gives a totally different take than we were getting. The kids were so cute too!
(((hugs))) :o)
Star, I lived in Perrine in late 50s, early 60s. I sure am glad I didn't live there when Andrew came through. I understand it took out the section where I lived.
You have THAT right, this thread IS the next best thing to "being there". As for the "guilty grin".....it's cute and cooler than the heat in Texas. LOL
What a wonderful thread. Great hopeful images that I know won't be embraced by the media.
I'm listening to Michael Dresser's show - Channel 4 - the subject is how civilians are monitoring terrorists websites and postings .. better than anything on the tube.
I will start loading more on here.. but it'll probably be tomorrow.
The pictures are great.
Thanks to all who have posted them.
Outstanding Shot!!!
Boy I don't like the press calling us PROWAR. I am not Pro war. I am anti-terrorism.
Sounds like Heaven :)
Can the flag picture be sent to Drudge -- maybe he
will put it up front and center.
Thanks to you and your husband for being in Crawford today! Those of us who could not be there feel so proud to have been represented by such fine Americans. Your efforts are very much appreciated! God bless you.
Absolutely stunning photos--magnificent! :o)
