Love your new tag line!

[Albion Wilde]

Thank you, BillF, for another stellar AAR!

Hello, warmer weather and more light in the evening - this is the most fun time of the year for Walter Reed FReeping! Woo-hoo! (Not that there's anything wrong with FReeping in the rain, snow, or freezing temperatures - we do that!)

Bumpity bump!

I won't be there tonight - I've been out of comission all week (health badness). But I send my heart!!!

The old one's still on stand-by. Nothing's changed. Thanks for all the Gavin updates.

Now is the time for all good men and women
to come to the aid of our country
and show support for our service men and women.

You do not have to be in DC to show support for the Troops.

Visit your local military base today and at least once a week.

Or a military or veteran hospital.

If you can't do that then send an e-mail or package
to our troops for morale support.

Proud Patriots -
Sending care packages,
e-mails, and snail mail
to US Military worldwide.

We need coast to coast support for the troops, now, more than ever.

Support Our Troops!

Be Ever Vigilant!

"Guest appearances by Michelle Malkin, Mark Levin, etc.; AND "submit your wish here"

Invite the president and the vice president!

I live way too far away to join the freeps but believe if I could I'd be there every time!

Glad to see that your computer has recovered, Bill. I stand in awe of everything you guys have done and are doing. God bless you every one.

Well done DC Chapter and other FReepers. You have come a long way from the day when Code Pink sent thugs to disrupt your protest--I am sure they never imagined they would end up with their raggedy ranks so thinned and consigned to a block away from the gates of those brave men and women they seek to demoralize.

I am so proud of you all.

I can't come this week but have plans for April 21 or 28 assuming you will still be there.

I've studied the metro map and it looks like a fair country walk from the Metro to the site? Maybe someone could give me some insight on metro travel to Walter Reed.

I LOVE this!!! Thanks for posting this thread! Means a lot!

Politician Challenge Bump

From the March 18th Tucson FReep AAR:
One wonders where the Pro-Troops politicians are in Washington DC on Friday nights. Perhaps they are visiting a fancy bistro or enjoying a play. I certainly haven't seen any reports of them at the entrance to Walter Reed Army Hospital holding a sign or flag to support the troops. Rallies are held there every Friday night and are rather famous. I can't believe they haven't heard of them.

Great job as always, DC Chapter!

We need coast to coast support for the troops, now, more than ever.

BUMP!

I've been out of comission all week (health badness). But I send my heart!!!

Feel better, AFB! Did you see your picture in this story? Great job!

Ping to post 33...

Tho I hate to admit it, several congress critters have visited the hospitals during the day generally with out a lot of fanfare. The rest of us stand in the street and show our support and get escorted onto the grounds by our contacts inside.

Don't believe everything you read in The New York Times ;>)

[Albion Wilde]

Last night the chat on the street by soldiers was that Dana Carvey would be coming this week to entertain. He will be able to impersonate all the presidents, senators and congressmen!
