Glad to hear "Mr. Ponytail" wasn't there with his "Impeach Bush" sign. He was getting way too much response from passers-by.

How cool that some soldiers were in the area! What great support from them.

There are actually loads of troops in the area. Just down the road towards Rockville there is a National Guard unit which is currently deployed in Iraq.

Did you notice the flags in front of the BP gas station on your right as you approached our intersection? Each flag represent an Olney resident's family member in Iraq or Afghanistan. The yellow ribbon attached to the flag has the soldier's name, rank & branch of service on it.

The idea is that when the family member comes home, you get the flag to present to them at their home coming celebration. We did it already for our nephew.

I'll have to get a picture of it for the next Olney AAR.
