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.
I just called and left a message on their recorder...
PLEASE FOLKS...CALL NOW!!!
Just E-mailed Fox News affiliate Waco. My flag is up, flying proud.
I called too, but toook a while to get through.
Our driveway is lined with flags, and support our troops sign out
That is where the media will be, mark my words. If that porno Marine gets nasty with any of those mothers there will be no holds barred.
Just left a very courteous message on the number 5 option on the fox news telephone line which is to give them an idea for a newstory. Told them I was a foxfan and watched every day from 6a to 9p and would REALLY appreciate it if they would give some decent coverage today of our hard working people down in TX that are SUPPORTING our troops. Off to dash them an email too.
Those puppies that were rescued are sure cute tho.
please pity the poor local residents !
They would not like to hear that too I'll bet.
If I were those folks I would not tolerate this circus of protest (the anti war buffoons) .
They should all start spreading their fields with fresh manure.
OMG!
on the phone now, a recording...
'"Blue Knights" are law enforcement officers who ride bikes.
When one of the NG units returned last month here to Millington, TN the big trees on Navy Rd were decorated with Red, White and Blue bows with yellow ribbon for the background and streamer part. It lets you do both oh, so well. It's still up today. We gave them a welcome home parade. Of couse Millington is a Navy base town (BUPERS). My yellow ribbon is still up on my mobile home and on the dash of my van along with the magnetic ones on the back. Even have a POW/MIA magnetic.
Great Job!!
In your freepmail.
I'm emailing it to lots of milcoms and soldiers.
unless there IS violence, this won't get any real media coverage
As much as I would love to see a confrontation, these moms are trying to keep the media and these leftists from preying on their families. I just hope they find that there are enough patriots at their backs to make this gesture (which should have been unnecessary if sheehan had any class) a little less painful.
40 Gold Star Families that will be going over to Camp Casey around 4pm Texas time to take down crosses of their loved ones

I want film of this. Can anyone get pictures of this? Anyone at the rally MUST get film of this. This is VERY important.
Well then, I should think our folks are even safer now. Thanks for the info.!
That's just gross! Yuck!
