Real American Businesses support the troops.

The place that's contributions. The great men of Rolling Thunder just gave them a check for $10,000.00 last Friday.

I thought I might have read something about this before....well, at least about the steakhouse.

But whether I did or not...any business which honors our troops in this or any other manner deserves to have its story told (and retold if necessary). And all the accolades that go with it.

"The great men of Rolling Thunder just gave them a check for $10,000.00 last Friday."

WOW! What a generous way to support the good work done by Fran O'Briens! Three cheers to Rolling Thunder.

A few weeks ago, I called FOB and thanked them for being so kind to our soldiers. I recommend it to people who ask about dining options.

What a great story.

Chris Wallace on the Fox News Sunday show did an excellent profile of the Fran's Friday nights in his "Power People" segment about a month ago.

I would like to think that other MSM outlets would mention something like this. I find it disgusting beyond belief that the Michael Moores and Cindy $hitheads in our country get so much press over their negative, anti-American dribble, and how much the MSM (including Fox) propagates it, and something as noteworthy as what this place is doing only receives an 'honorable mention'.

I had no idea Wolfowitz went every Friday. Way cool.

Honoring our veterans does not fit the "storyline" of the wholly-owned subsidiary of the DNC - the so-called MSM.

The "Friday Night Dinners Reunion Celebration" marked two years of Fran O'Brien's providing free steak dinners every Friday night to wounded troops from Walter Reed Army Medical Center here and the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Md. Patients from the two medical facilities, some of whom have left the medical centers, and family members were on hand to celebrate the milestone.

BRAVO!!
