TRUE AMERICAN HEROES

Let’s show the families of local troops that we support them!

What: Flag Waving to Support Our Troops When: This Friday, September 2, 2005 – 4-6 p.m. only Where: Corner of State Road 54 and Little Road in front of Walmart

If you have a flag, that’s great – bring it, but we will have 500 flags to hand out!

We are tired of all the negative talk about the war against terror. It is important to take a few minutes prior to the upcoming U.S. Labor Day Holiday to let the hundreds of Pasco County men and women who are serving or have served in Iraq and Afghanistan know that we support them and appreciate all that they are doing to protect us here at home. It is also important that we support the families of hose serving in the war effort and especially the families of those who made the ultimate sacrifice. When you consider the hundreds of men and women serving from Pasco and add the number to all of their families and friends it means that thousands of our friends and neighbors will not rest easy until their loved ones are home and safe.

We are confident people will show their support by participating in the flag waving. We will be providing pictures so that families and friends of those fighting can email those soldiers and let them know we will never stop thinking of them and we support them. A special thanks to Walmart for allowing all of us to park in their parking lot for this event.

Please come out and join us beginning at 4 p.m. in front of the Walmart at SR 54 and Little Road (at the NW corner of the intersection). Come for as long or as little as you can. What is important is that you come and show your support of our brave men and women serving Pasco County and the United States proudly.

Sincerely,

Greg & Cynthia Armstrong and Bill Bunting

I want to invite everyone in the Tampa Bay area to come out and show support for the troops. This is a real opportunity to let our service men and women know that we believe in them and will stick with them until we have complete victory. They have to know that we are not going to cut and run.

This is personal for me. My oldest son is a captain in the Florida National Guard and is serving in Afghanistan right now. My youngest son just graduated from basic combat training at Ft. Jackson, S.C. and is now in AIT in Ft. Eustis, VA. So I have both of my sons, my only children, serving. It would be nice to see a big turn out. Thanks. Total Victory Gary

Scales, please give your sons my thanks for their service to our great country. May God bless and watch over them.

I'm not real clear on where the rally will be....is it in Pasco County?

[Scales]

Thanks very much. I will pass on your thanks to them both. The Rally is in Pasco County. It is just north of the Trinity area in the southwest part of the county. It is just north of Pinellas.

I'm in St. Pete and sorry to say I won't be able to get to Pasco. But, I will be with you in spirit! I truly hope you have a good size group. We do need to show our troops that many, many Americans support and appreciate them.
