On a very tragic note, our dear friend Cindy-True-Supporter got word that her 21 year old son, Gavin was struck by a hit and run drunk driver on Tuesday, March 21st in South Padre Island, TX where he was on spring break.

Gavin was due to graduate in May and had already been awarded an Army ROTC commission. He was to get his duty assignment in June, and had been attending helicopter aviation school. Gavin and his mother were at our Freep last Friday.

Mother Cindy-True-Supporter is an ardent troop-support presence at the weekly FReeps at Walter Reed on Fridays and the weekly anti-war demonstrations in Olney, Maryland on Saturdays. Her behind-the-scenes acts of kindness to wounded service members are extraordinarily generous. She is a former Army nurse and her husband, Mike, an Army doctor. Gavin has turned out to support the Walter Reed FReep as well, and was with us just last Friday.

Please pray for Gavin and the family.

This was a very tough report to write, knowing that our good friend and very dedicated troop-supporter, Cindy-true-supporter is out in Texas at her critically injured son's bedside; and that there's nothing I can do for them except pray.

Please pray for Gavin, Cindy and Mike; and please come out to WRAMC on Friday. Cindy has been one of the stalwarts at WRMAC, not missing a single week unless a family emergency kept her away.

Cindy, we love you, and we're all praying for Gavin; let us know what we can do here, to help you guys.

Allison, who has a face for radio and an apparent tendency towards blind rage, lashed out at our charming Spiff. She called him a "little s**t" and an "unmitigated turd".

Actually, she said that I was talking "bullsh**" and then called me a "misogynistic turd". It was then that "Large Marge" stomped up the street to find Kristinn - who was not there. What a cry baby. And I was being nice and had not employed my bullhorn.

I helped one of the Pinkos get the old lady into her car on my second visit down to see the Pinkos. None of the other Pinkos lifted a finger to help them. I said nothing to the Pinkos that trip. I held the door while the old lady hobbled from her wheelchair and leaned on the door for support to get into the car, and I helped the driver load the signs into the back of the car. I offered them a good evening and left to go back up to the FReeper corners.

It was the third trip that Wuke got in my face. I was there as the three girls were leaving the Pinko mob to go home. I politely asked them to be sure to Google the term 'Code Pink' to find out more about the organization. I'll be surprised if they come back.

[Just A Nobody]

she asked Bmwcyle to make Spiff "behave".
Ruh roh!

Ever the diplomat, (ROFLMHO!) Bmwcyle said "I'm busy" and told her to get lost.
Bmw must have been having an off night! ;*)

Good job taking up the slack on the AAR.

Pretty busty weekend what with Chapter members at WRAMC, Fayetteville, Olney, the Naval Obsevatory and the White House.

I'm exhausted just listing all that. I better go lie down now.

Great report -- thanks for taking the time to put everyone's notes and photos together to share with us. It's great to see all the smiles, positive sign messages and pictures of friends and heroes.

For some reason he wanted to thank FR for being at the gates and showing our support. DC FReepers: "Don't Mess with Walter Reed"

I think your weekly FReep is the Mecca for FReepers. I'm trying to figure out how I can be away from home for long enough to make it up there for my FReeper Hajj.
