Keep up the good work, soldier - and know that you are respected, supported, and esteemed by us here on the home front. We are grateful for your service, and we know that it is a sacrifice for each of you!
A.A.C.
These three guys really stood out. (I think they're on OUR side)
Initially, Ruth did not want to be on camera. Jenny and I convinced her to say a few words, and once she started, it just flowed. She is an awesome lady and is very proud of her son,Joseph, who was called to active duty and served one year in Iraq with the Wyoming National Guard.
THANKS FOR YOUR EFFORTS ON BEHALF OF THE TROOPS.
Thank you.
Where can I get one of those UN hankies? Do they sell toilet tissue?
at the rally in March in Denver I made up two toilet paper tubes of UN toilet paper, and later I hemstitched a very large hankie.
When I was being interviewed by the guys from CU I blew my nose very loudly into it.
I purchased the UN flags at our Boulder Army Navy store.
Jenny
awesome bump
Thanks for the pics --I wrote to the Denver Poop -to query-
why the supposedly covered the story but made not one mention of the Freeper counter protest.Hard to miss the
Patriotism and the UN ground cover.My wife understands me when I add the most beautiful women seen at that event.
Nicely done! Thanks for going and representing.
GREAT AAR, Jenny!! Thank you, Ruth and Jan in Colorado for taking the time to see that the anti-war, anti-US faction did not go unanswered. Hat tip to you all for a job well done!! :)
Tish
Great FReepin'! BUMP!
it was really FUN!!!
Jenny
You go, girls! ROFL! Give me a buzz and I'll join you next time for the fun. I especially want to blow my nose in a UN flag hankie.
Ruth,
I'm laughing out loud.
The sad thing to me was that I was so consumed with talking to the people I talked with, I could not hear what you were saying to those you chatted with. Liberals are loud!
I'm glad you joined. It will be fun to chat with you in this forum....and at church!
Love, Jenny
"You go, girls! ROFL! Give me a buzz and I'll join you next time for the fun. I especially want to blow my nose in a UN flag hankie."
Did you get a picture of that??? I could tell the cameraman from CU was cracking up laughing when I did it. I hope they use it in their report.
Jenny
jan,
I got this email from the students from CU the other day...
Jenny,
We did use part of your interview for our show this week. You will be able to
see it on Tuesday at 12:30 or 6:30. I don't know if you get the channel we
broadcast on. It only goes around Boulder, but if you do, you can see the show
on channel 63. Or you should be able to watch it online at either 12:30 or
6:30. I gave he web address below. Just click on "watch our show" and you
will be directed to the right place.
Thank you again for speaking with us.
Let us know what you think of the story.

And they posted a print version of the story on their web site here
http://www.colorado.edu/StudentGroups/inside/Stories/Protest.htm
I had a little quote in the story...
On the outskirts of the protest were these people who demonstrated their support for the president. Among them is Jenny Hatch.
Holding up a index finger covered in black ink Hatch said, I inked up my finger here because Im in solidarity with the Iraqi people. Its a symbol of their freedom. And I just feel passionate that they need to be supported. These people might not realize it, but what they are doing emboldens the terrorist who are in Iraq and I believe they personally have Iraqi blood and American soldiers blood on their hands.
Although the protest was peaceful, tempers did flare at times when views collided. Police were quick to respond and one man was strongly encouraged to leave.
This protest was one of several, including a large demonstration at the capital building in Washington DC.
This story was reported by Nick Lockwood.
My apoligies Jan, but I forgot to email you about the show, and I forgot to even watch it myself.
I'm going to email the guys and ask if they have the tape hosted anywhere. Sounds like they don't but I'll let you know what they say.
Jenny
I look forward to FReeping with you again!
God Bless
Jan
Here is the woman (I believe her name is Laurel), who would like America to be like Sweden. I spent 15 minutes talking to her before Ruth did, and she brought up some negative information about President Bush's Great-grandfather, like that has anything to do with President Bush.
Ruth said...
The sad/humorous part of it was they don't know the issues, they just keep spewing out rhetoric from someone else and the longer they talk the more they contradict themselves.
I too was amazed at how little these people know about the issues. I guess it shouldn't surprise us...how else could they possibly be against the Freedom of the Iraqi's, unless they really are just ignorant about what their lives were really like?
I talked to dozens of people at the "peace" protest, and not one knew about the purple finger. How sad.
So, after spending a few hours with all these people protesting Freedom for Iraqi's and reading all their signs,I thought this might be a great time to remind ourselves what the Iraqi's think of the United States being in Iraq.
There are MANY more pictures like this, but the MSM will NEVER show them.
