Ditto!
"As for her spontaneous 'grieving'...take a look at this photograph courtesy of LGF and Minnesocold: "
LOL! Not an unusual experience for those who have a chance to peek behind the Leftist Media show. I once saw a group of about 20 people markching in a tight circle in a tight shot in front of a TV camera, holding signs and chanting. I'm sure it looked like a big rally on TV , but in real life it was ridiculous. Wish I had a camcorder at that moment, but I'll bet the view is common.
I hope the video from this event is optimized---run through a good PC editing program, transferred to DVD, and reproduced at low cost for mass distribution. The DVD could icnlude instructions for lobbying local news channels to show some footage.
Super, Impeach 98. Thank YOU for your dedication and hard work.
Oh, yes, they are, Friend. You did what I wished I could. And, you spoke with a clear voice for me.
I thank you.
We thank God for you and all those wonderful parents and families of our service men and women. This is honor, morals, values, fidelity, loyalty... and in the secular humanism of today they can't understand, it sounds too much like religion...but they will. I will pray that you continue the work you have begun. I truly believe by this stand you have saved a lot of our soldiers lives. I am here at your disposal should you need me...I am also sure everyone else feels the same.
We followed all of you there with our hearts, we prayed mightily, made every stop with you, drank every thankful sip of cold water provided and stood in the Chow Line waiting for that BBQ.
We stayed up really late, as if we were all grown-up and the parents got to go out for a change.
Still we waited... To the MSM, it would seem we didn't exist, but we knew this would happen.
One by one, by streaming talk radio from there, Philly and elsewhere... we heard. We celebrated as a family when the transcribed phone messages and first photos started to roll in. We exhaled after waiting so long.
We picked ourselves up, kicked the dust from our feet and went full metal to the press by phone and email.
A lot of young republicans and converts saw the pictures (the horsemen, flags in hand, ten commandments, the MOAFlags, families, picnics and loving messages)....and for the first time said "I just realized what America means".
Vets who thought about how they were treated when they got back decided at the last minute to stand up and make the trek, exclaiming "Never again"... a lot of them with medical problems.
We thank you for giving our lives even more meaning and letting the troops know we love them and that their country has not abandoned them. We know we must do more...and we will, thanks to you.
Great teamwork all!
Everybody involved in this needs to be thanked for their great dedication and hard work. It's always nice to see "our side" get involved in things like this, since the left has owned this far too long. We do such a much better job of it. We can't let them do to our Iraq Vets what they did to our Vietnam Vets.
no thanks needed...just doing our duty.
Thank you so much. The event was fabulous. So thrilled you were about to get such a wonderful turnout and I know the Freepers always play an important part. I couldn't make this trip but did my share during the recount in 2000 and what a neat group. Bless all of you who represented us all so well.
As a FReeper, special thanks to Jim Rob and Sheila for making the trip. I know that when I saw their picture in the tent (front and center) it gave me chills and I knew this was destined for great things!
God Bless America and God Bless Free Republic!
Also, a round of applause to the 70 or so patriots who showed up for a "Support the troops!" rally Friday night outside of Walter Reed - anchored of course by the core heroes of the D.C. chapter of FR.
[standing ovation]
Amen to that!
Now that was an interesting post.
Who got lost?
:)
The "caravan" went south on I25 in Albuquerque vs east on I40 and an hour and a half later they figured it out thus losing 3 hours on their schedule.....They arrived in Amarillo at the rally late but everyone held out and stayed cept for a few folks that lived a hundred or so miles away that had came over to Amarillo.......it was funny to kid the folks about it when they arrived......A good time regardless.
Stay safe !
I presume that you have already seen this, but just in case...
What y'all did for America is thanks enough for me!
I know diddly squat about video cameras but would love to see a humorous take done on the absolute phoniness of the anti-war crowd's machinations in collusion with the MSM at this event that tried to give us one impression when (don't look behind the curtain) all the time...voila! "Cindy, Cindy, can we just take that over again...just move your hand here...can you cry a little?" MORONS! They got caught.
I once saw a photograph of the famous war photograph James Nachtwey (sp?) doing exactly the same thing with a little old Palestinian lady and her baby. The picture of her in her black weeds holding a child was heartwrenching, until you stepped back and saw the same media circus surrounding her and she was probably on the fifth 'take'. I've really come to despise the Press and TV people and their phoniness that asks you to repeat an emotion for the camera. If the emotion is authentic, you CAN'T really repeat it and to try degrades you. I found a version of it here...it's not the little old lady, but you get the idea.
