To our less than friends across the street. Leave the bus at home next time. It was a waste of fuel and it was a danger to other people's cars when you drive it down narrow streets just to use it as a protest poster.

Their butts and their souls get exposed every Friday.

[Albion Wilde]

The sign boards will take on vetern status and cherished proof of one of the greatest campaigns ever in support of concepts real Americans hold dear.

Oh, my! Thank you, but it's just so much fun! Haven't had so much fun since the 60s! Love being on the right side of the issues!

[Albion Wilde]

After viewing the pic of the bus, I would not have helped.

We slapped that ol' bus's rear, Aquakat! As the Italians say, hold your friends close, and your enemies even closer...

October 10, 2005 • Lt. Col. Leon G. James II, 46, of Sackets Harbor, N.Y., died at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C., of injuries sustained in Baghdad, Iraq, on Sep. 26 when an improvised explosive device detonated near his vehicle during combat operations.

Rest in peace. We pray for his soul and for solace to his family. May God receive him with the greeting, "Well done, good and faithful servant."

LOL! That's what they get for messing in a hospital zone!

You do me great honor, and thank you on behalf of Derek and Nic, sons of a NYC policeman who is married to my cousin. He and I used to disagree, but 9/11 brought me to my senses.

I lived in Philly for about ten years (before I married and moved to NY) and could swap many horror stories with you (Wilson Goode years..)!

And thanks for the reading recommend..I hear Fallaci got into some trouble for being politically incorrect..sounds like a winner to me! Blessings, Ari

After the thanks of liberated Iraquis and American Vet heroes, my thanks are puny, but I add them anyway.

I always read these reports and am always impressed by your stalwart commitment ... but this time you really outdid yourselves. I was in tears before getting to the end of the report, and through all the posts.

THANK YOU for representing ALL Americans who support our troops, and for letting them KNOW how much we love them!!!

[bmwcyle]

You missed the days of the reports of the DC Chapter at the White House.

[Albion Wilde]

Thank you, Jerez. The troops' valor makes it all so easy for us.

[Jerez2]

I well remember the DC Chapter days, I've lurked longer than my screen name implies! And laughed through the days of "Get out of Cheney's House!"

I love being a Freeper! :-)

But it's YOU guys who add luster to the name. I am very proud of you ALL! xoxoxoxox

[Dutchgirl]

Loved your photos. The love note on the back of the bus is priceless...

Salute and bump!

[bmwcyle]

I don't know how it got there.
