[The Mayor]

I pledge allegiance to the flag
of the United States of America
and to the Republic for which it stands,
one nation under God, indivisible,
with liberty and justice for all.

~Tribute to Our Troops~

[DollyCali]

The post above was from Friday night at Walter Reed. These are next day at "the President's Hospital" Bethsda Naval Hospial

Some of the LARGE group, including our good friends the Rolling Thunder (primarily Vietnam vets) the next afternoon at Bethesda Naval Hospital was the Rally supporting in DC. Countering the FREAK SHOW Fred Phelps & his Westoro Baptist Church . If you have missed this sick group, they go primarily to funerals of our fallen troops & carry signs that God is happy that their loved one is dead etc.

Hundreds of law enforcement were around. Here are some getting ready. They had our two group separated by about 1000 feet.

Here are a few of the troops who stood with us

Yes, the pooches were here also. Here they are Freeping along the fence (Josy & Toby). These are just a few pix. There will be AAR threads on each of the three events that were Freeped over the weekend & I will be posting the lions share there.

Here is the thread about the FReep on Saturday at Bethesda Naval Hospital

The Phelphs are one sick family...really sick!

[Mrs.Nooseman]

Good Morning FR Finest.

Our Troops fight for our freedom and keep us safe.

We should thank our Troops every day and show our support for what they do,because they sacrifice everything for us.

Always remember that.......

It is the SOLDIER, not the preacher,
who has given us freedom of religion.
It is the SOLDIER, not the courts
who has given us the right to keep and bear arms
It is the SOLDIER, not the reporter,
who has given us freedom of the press.
It is the SOLDIER, not the poet,
who has given us freedom of speech.
It is the SOLDIER, not the campus organizer,
who has given us freedom to assemble.
It is the SOLDIER, not the lawyer,
who has given us the right to a fair trial.
It is the SOLDIER, not the politician,
who has given us the right to vote.
It is the SOLDIER, who salutes the Flag,
and serves under the flag.

So join me in saying........

God bless our Troops and their families!

Until Then..A Tribute to Our Service Men and Women and Their Families

[Aquamarine]

Thanks for the Military Monday Post Mayor. These are very interesting times that we are living in.

Got the garden planted this evening. Planted corn, okra, squash and tomatoes...all easy plants to grow that I won't have to crawl around to harvest the way I used to with peas and beans. The knees don't care for that anymore. lol
