Ping!
Alrighty then, all systems go!!! There have been spontaneous, as well as planned, FReeps all over the country the past few days.
Thank you for your sacrifice. I know it is not easy being a military spouse. Please express my gratitude and support to your husband!
AWESOME after-action report. Thank you very much. It was such a great gathering of people supporting our troops. Let's do it again!
Virile men with long gray hair and weathered skin, they are ageless bad boys with cordially menacing attitudes. They are bikers, and not just any bikers...
BILL...are you back? This was awesome! See you Friday?
What a day brightener. Thanks so much to all our military men and women who give so much and the Freepers on the front line as well. What a fantastic bunch!!!
Taxman Bravo Zulu! to all who attended the FReep and your pics and most excellent report.
Shouldn't we have sashes of red, white, and blue and let the lefties have yellow as their color? Maybe next time?
Wonderful report and photos.
Thanks. I got back late yesterday, but still have a backlog of 80 to 100 pings to read.
I plan on being there on Friday.
LOL! Strictly a budget consideration! Working on a solution! Meantime, the "tie a yellow ribbon" thing in relation to supporting the troops was thoroughly debated on an earlier thread this week: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/keyword?k=yellowribbon
That joker can't decide which side of the boat to row on.
For some reason, many of the pics did not load no matter how many times I refreshed.
They are pretty large files. Sometimes this happens if your mailbox has a limit of a certain number of megabytes (MB's). When this happens at work, I clean out my mailbox and throw away unneeded attachments and outdated mail; then restart. Hope this helps...

Again, thank you.
As to your first response,
I plan to meet that damned bus (of Jihad Cindy's) when it pulls into Trenton, NJ with my own sign.
As to your second response,
My sacrifice is naught. I was raised by a damned fine Air Guard Chief that fought from WWII through Nam. I just got as lucky as my Mom did and found one of my own.
Thank you again. Jersey ain't too far from Walter Reed, I may have to make a trip.
You wonderful people make me proud (and fill my heart to overflowing) to be an American!
Awesome tagline!
"If you can read this, thank a teacher. If you are reading it in English, thank a soldier.
Awesome tagline!"
Thanks!! I got that line from my Dad.

I miss you Dad!
He would have been so proud of all of you fine Americans!!
Thank you, friends, for all your excellent hardwork and dedication. My dream is to join you for one of these freeps.
Basil -- thank you for your kind words. Coming from one of the Energizer Bunnies of the Crawford event last weekend, we are awestruck at your accomplishments. FReep on! We'd love for you to join us; on the other hand, we'd love for the Code Pinkos to give up on this. We won't be going anywhere until they clear out.
