I posted this in another thread that was making a statement to the effect of was this rally worth it. This is how I feel about it.


I feel this rally was 100% successful. I am proud and honored to have participated and been in such good company. This will be a highlight in my life and I have made it a point to live my life to the fullest.

I didn't volunteer my services because of what this could do to the left or to necessarily promote the right.

I volunteered my services because it was the right thing to do. I didn't know how large this would be, no one did. When it's time to speak up, I do it. I will not forsake my freedom or the best interests of the American people to apathy. I encourage people to follow. I don't twist arms. If I'm out there by myself making not the slightest bit of difference to the over all picture, at least I know that I'm doing the right thing.

I was a soldier during the first gulf war. I'm educated enough to understand the role the media and the left played in demoralizing and dishonoring our troop during Vietnam.

Most people on this site understand what and who the far left is. These are the groups supporting Sheehan. They don't like America as it exists and they don't have the slightest clue what it is to support the troops much less sacrifice their own lives for freedom and democracy. These people come from the same tree as the Fondas and the Kerrys.
They openly embrace and embolden the enemy as our sons and daughters fall on the battlefield. They have, and rightly so, the freedom to express themselves without retribution from the government. What they put forth is in the worst taste and dishonors America and all we stand for. For me not to put forth the effort to counter them would make my apathy just as egregious and disgusting.

We did this to bolster our troops and to make an effort to exercise our freedom of speech in opposition to the over inflated hype the media pored over a misguided mother with a radical left leaning agenda that is not representative of even main stream democrats.

We will not be silent. Conservatives have learned their lesson. When duty calls we will leave our families and our jobs to make time to let our voices be heard.

You can not support the troops with out supporting the mission.

Never in any other time in history has the mission been any clearer.

Thanks Free Republic for allowing me the honor of assisting you.

It was a wonderful event. I would do it again in a heartbeat with the full knowledge that not a single camera would be present. Just being in the presence of good All American company makes it worth it to me. We can shoot our own video and send it to the troops.

I love and honor our soldiers, and I support their mission 100%

Oh, BTW, I noticed you were wondering about photos in another thread. There must be thousands within FR. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/keyword?k=caravan.

I was SO disappointed in media coverage. But it's all right here in photos.

Here's some photo gallery links. Easy on dialup connections - small thumbnail photos. Can click individually to enlarge.
