On Friday, Oct. 28th, the San Diego area FReepers joined with the San Diego Protest Warriors for the chance to tell our soldiers, "Thank you", at the Marine Corps air Station at Miramar.
It was very heartwarming to see the smiles on the faces of our Marines as they realized that these shouting, waving, flag bearing, sign carrying people were there to salute them! They have not been forgotten!
We had a terrific response from the troops as well as passers-by. The local news was with us the entire time and even went "live" with us. Thank you to everyone who took time out of their busy schedules to give a little back to the troops.
Our numbers are growing with each event. Congratulations San Diego and thank you for supporting our troops!
Thanks cgk for posting the photos, it was a wonderful
time being with us FReepers and the Protest Warriors.
The photos of your dau. are cute.
Quite welcome! :) I was so grateful for Joanie for sending them along. The pictures she took are just fantastic! It was a great time, and I hope there will be many more for our men and women in the military.
Thanks again for posting!
They HAD to remind not only those who see these pics now, but each and every Marine there, EXACTLY why we're fighting. Such fine little Patriots! Your daughter is so precious - such personality - so cute!
Isn't she talented?? I responded to her immediately via e-mail but bounced back (could not be sent within 4 hours), so I will keep trying. I am hoping she's lurking around here and sees the rave reviews to her talent. ;)
There are definitely some keeper-shots in there for us and the family. A precious personality she definitely is: my grandma says "TYPE A" LOL
