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.
LOL Trust me, you aren't an "ugly dude". ;)
Pleased to meet you snugs
These fools have picked the worst place in Indiana to pull an Anti-America protest. Now that I think about it..this was planned that way. UH OH. I know these people will not be welcoming to say the least.
"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."
THEY SHOULD SUE!
She is stealing their good name and good will!
Well, then if that's the case, Fox, MSNBC, CNN, CBS and ABC should all go to breaking uninterrupted coverage of the rain causing puddles in camp Cindy, and how it shouldn't be raining on Cindy and her two hundred supporters, because she's a greiving mom.
What an awesome banner, Hildy! I'm going to share that with our son. He's going to love this one too. :)
Will do... I found a webpage to reference.
For those on this thread, here is the info from the church's website;

When are you going to put up the whole movie? I can hardly wait to see it!!! Excellent!
No they are not members of the soldier's family. They have not been invited by this town, or it's residents that I am aware of. This group protested at 3 other soldier's funerals in TN earlier today.
This woman's son...
This Oregon couple's son...
Two sons of strangers, but the sons were in the same unit & were friends...
I put these up because they all said the same thing: Their sons/brothers did not die in vain. They had a cause, they believed in the cause and they were proud to serve and fight for the United States of America and to help free Iraq from tyranny.
Yes they can use the crosses to suit themselves only. I often wonder just "who" they pray to at their "vigils".

You can buy it as a T-shirt from cafepress.com and rightnation.com. I have it and it definitely gets attention!

No, they are not members of the soldier's family. They also protested 3 soldiers funerals today in TN. They are an anti-war extremist group.
" During the Fox News break at the top of the hour, they reported on Crawford! "
For comparison, ABC radio news at the top of the hour.
" Dueling protests in Crawford, today- those against the war and those supporting President Bush."
" A report now from Bimbo Airhead in Crawford " :
" Cindy Sheehan vows to take her fight against the war from Crawford , Texas to Washington, DC."
"Cindy Sheehan will leave Crawford on Wed and her first stop will be at the Texas offices of Republican Congressman ,Tom DeLay."
That's what ABC considered a report on the " dueling protests."
