This weekend a woman approached DC Chapter co-leader Kristinn to tell him that she accompanied her husband as he had recently been treated in Walter Reed for three months. "After a long day and long weeks of feeling down and depressed," she related, "seeing you people out on the street with messages of support was such a lift -- not only for us, but for lots of other families there at Walter Reed."

It's why we do it, folks. It's fun, it's uplifting; and it's even more enjoyable now that warm weather has returned.

FReepers from all over the country have visited DC, had a great time seeing Washington's incomparable monuments and museums, and made the time to stand with us in honor of our wounded and in support of their families. Come and stand with us this Friday, and lots of Fridays!

Ample parking on the streets. We order pizza. See you there!

With those posted photos of the pink kooks I may be forced to hit the abuse button.

Great report - luv your style.

Albion - thanks for the ping and your hilarious report with photos. As a ProtestWarrior and FReeper, I'm always overjoyed to see folks turn out to counter-protest these idiots.

Perhaps next week you can throw a shaving and shower kit to that poor, hygiene-challenged Pinko.

I replied before letting the pics load. My caption for the first picture "The consequences of burning your bra in the '70s."

Bump! but I have requested that the photo in post #3 be removed. This is not in keeping with FR's good behavier. I hope the mod agrees.

"Here's the honor roll of 17 FReeper, lurker and guest attendees who made Walter Reed a part of their Memorial Day holiday this past Friday: [Mr.] Trooprally, [Mrs.] Trooprally, Tom the Redhunter, tgslTakoma, Taxman and Mrs Taxman, SonofTGSL, Sisku Hanne, Kristinn, Justanobody, Jimmy Valentine's Brother, Jerry from WRAMC, Fraxinus, Daniel from WRAMC, DaughterofTGSL, lurker Bill from Maryland, and Albion Wilde."


Thanks to all of you for representing the majority of Americans that can't be there who would like to support our troops and most importantly shield our wounded troops at Walter Reed from those scumbag pinkos. What trash they are, how do they look at themselves in the mirror after their disgusting behavior!?!

Please continue to PING me with your reports. I made it to DC for the September '04 anti-Kerry rally and would like to make it back again. But stuck out here in rural NM, it is really a chore. If I need to come back east again for business or otherwise I will do what I can to include a Friday night DC stayover.

I really appreciate the efforts of the DC chapter in keeping up the morale of the troops.

ONWARDS...

Thanks for all you guys do! It means a lot to all the military families out here. Sorry I can't help out, but Nebraska is a long way from DC.
I spent my Memorial day at the funeral of a soldier that was killed in Baghdad. He served along side my son who was also in the same blast that took his friend. Very sad day.

I haven't personally chimed in yet, been busy, but Great Thread. Loved what you did with [Mrs] T's pics.

You're doing well answering so many posts and gathering previous posters and pinging them. Is there a secret, easy way to gather individual FReeper names and cut/paste them in one place until you are ready to ping them, or its it just time consuming crunching?
