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!
And to all you folks at Crawford...YOU DONE GOOD! REAL GOOD!
Will do Julie. Thank you for the ping and the information!
"More great-looking freepers!"
That they are!! So many Awesome! pics, thanks so much for posting them.
Most excellent shirt. It does my heart good to see such an outpouring of support for our troops, our President, and our nation. I can only wish I could be there in Crawford.
I noticed. ;*)
And you know I'm in deep doo.
After my "faux pax" I was thinking I should have offered to help with the photos etc. Hope it is going well
Very, very moving!
That was the right thread. She looks a whole lot better than the witch (bit*h)in the ditch! Just goes to show you that conservative women rock! I know, I have one!
Blessings, Bobo
Nice guess. But wrong. The only aircraft was a blue and white bell jet ranger helicopter. It was never low enough to see it's markings, at least not with my eyes. Never heard any jets. Since up until 9 months ago my office was directly underneath the approach path to Kelly Field at Lackland AFB, which has F-16s and C-5s assigned, and lots of transiant T-38s, T-37s, T-1s and T-6s, and am a retired USAFR officer, I do know what a jet aircraft sounds and looks like. The F-16s, deployed to a nearby military base, guard the President whenever he in Crawford, but the weren't up today, or were too high to notice.
That's why I posted that .. each thread had people who were angry about the lack of coverage for the issue on which they were focused.
Major typo
Thanks for all the pics people. Freepers rock my world!
When I saw her with that cross I immediately thought of the scene from the exorcist....ycch....
Off Topic
But I just heard there is suppose to be a wedding at Camp Nut Case 2 tomorrow
Hi Mo!
I was in Crawford again today, and I'm putting together a new photo album -- take a look

Seing the pics of both sides of these groups, it's obvious that Camp Cindy is made up of 60's era Hippies, and the "Bitch in the Ditch" has inspired them to rise up out of the Moth balls of a time best forgotten
"But I just heard there is suppose to be a wedding at Camp Nut Case 2 tomorrow"
I read that on FR - think it was early on this thread. The bride said something to the effect of I'm going to find a clean T-shirt to wear. I read that they're giving all the money they would have spent on the wedding to Camp Cindistan
