Ding-Dong Zarqawi's Dead!!
The wonderful news that our military eliminated this horrible beast set the tone for the evening. So many months of hard work and persistence finally paid off in a spectacular manner and we were prepared to celebrate the success of Task Force 145 and all of the members of the military who have been successful in their own MOSs.
We were also mindful that this was a day of disappointment and sorrow for CodePink and commie sympathizers everywhere. Their icon was gone - blown up by the military they so despise. It must have been especially painful for them to learn that Zarqawi lived long enough to see free Iraqi police and U.S. troops bending over his wasted remains before he finally shuffled off this mortal coil. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Some signs to mark the momentous occasion. The pics in this report were taken by Mrs Trooprally and PleaDeal (blue border). You can see all the photos from Mrs. T here, and mine here. |
Heavy rain drenched the D.C. area late in the afternoon, but tapered off before 7pm. Our usual crowd of FReepers and friends was bolstered tonight by 12 College Republicans who were in town for their annual caucus. The honor roll of attendance (lurkers marked with *):
Albion Wilde, Barb*, Bill from MD*, BufordP, Cindy-True-Supporter, Jimmy Valentine's Brother, Just A Nobody, Kristinn, Mary*Ann & Jere, PleaDeal, Steve*, tgslTakoma, Tom RedHunter, and Trooprally [Mr. and Mrs.]. College Republicans included Lindy, Billy, Esther, Cindy, Troy, Zach, Paul, Mason, Charlie, George, Amanda and Ashley.
A special condolence card was crafted by tgslTakoma and Kristinn:

The card was hand-delivered by Kristinn to the mourners waaaaaay down the block. |

In a kindly display of concern for the commies, Cindy-True-Supporter, Jimmy Valentine's Brother and BufordP line up across Georgia Ave. from the Pinkos so the signs could clearly be read. |
Touched by the FReepers sympathy, "Large Marge", Kevin McCarron and a "Veterans for Peace" Pinko cross the street to thank the group. |
Kevin is so grateful, he shoves his peacenik sign in tgslTakoma's face and won't let her video what's going on! BufordP and JVB pitched in by singing a happy tune:
While flashing the "V" for Victory sign! |
Meanwhile, Kristinn was on his way to delivering the personalized condolence card across the street. "Marge" is obviously impressed with the thoughtfulness contained in the message. |
Coming late to the party, Gael Murphy was nonetheless able to share in the precious moments. | ||
Back up at the gates, we were having a great time waiving flags, cheering, and gleefully mingling with the boisterous and jubilant College Republicans. The young'uns love honking horns and made sure the intersection was a continuous cacophony. HOORAY!
Who says FReepers are poorly dressed? |
Last week, tgslTakoma had the happy pleasure of meeting a soldier from her hometown. This week it was Just A Nobody and visiting Soldiers' Angel MaryAnn and husband Jere who discovered their shared geographical ties. MaryAnn came down from Ohio to spend her birthday out front of Walter Reed. Now that's patriotism! |
These guys couldn't have been happier at the death of their #1 enemy in Iraq. |
For some reason, this Iranian Pinko didn't share our joy. |
We'll be back out at Walter Reed next Friday night, June 16th, from 6:30 until at least 9:30 at the intersection of Georgia Avenue and Elder Street, NW in Washington, D.C.Please don't let the troops think that regular Americans are too busy with TV, ballgames, movies and other recreation to peacefully counter America-hating leftists.
Being there with us in spirit is great, but we need people to hold the MOAB (Mother of all banners), other signs, and flags. Maybe you can't come every week, but please make it your patriotic duty to join us at least once in the near future. This FReep is rewarding, fun, and important for our troops and our nation.
As always, the DC Chapter's rules for protesting will be in effect. Briefly, they are: No violence. No profanity. No racism. No provocations. Obey the law. Treat all law enforcement officers with respect.
All DC Chapter Walter Reed FReeps - c/o BufordP.
Come out this Friday and join us in celebrating our Troops.
When our troops are going in and out honking and yelling Hoorah or stop by to visit, my heart melts and it all seems very worthwhile.
OK! ;*)
What beautiful sentiment. I'm a little misty eyed here.
We were all surprised and delighted when the College Republican kids arrived. The guys were lively, but the girls really got the passing cars to honk and cheer. And it truly was a treat to meet Mary Ann and her husband who had traveled so far to spend her birthday on the corner thanking the troops for their sacrifice. It was a great night!
Big DC Chapter ping!!
ping
nope
Thank you for baking those magnificent cookies for our Troops! I received a phone call from one of the soldiers 20 minutes after we left, he just returned to WR and there were no cookies left! I think they were waiting for us to leave before they devoured them. ;*)
Unfortunately, we always see the "girlie men" of Code Pink only get physical with women who are substatially shorter than themselves.
Amazing he was out in the rain with that bald spot and no hat. That's got to be cold.
I'm going to get there, one of these days!!
Keep up your good work. It's a lead-pipe cinch that our troops are inspired by your activities.
Take this as a friendly request...while you are waiting for your driver's license, learn to resize your photos to they are not so dang big.
Thanks
Great Job. I could not do it though. I could not restrain myself.
Notice the VFP guy with the "TEACH PEACE" button on his "This Was Kewl Back In The 60s" hat. He's mourning Al-Zarqawi's death with a black arm band. Do he and Bruce Wolf go shopping for clothes together. They have the same tastes. What a maroon.
BTTT
What a great job you did and as always great Pictures.
Thanks again.
[Mrs T]
Is it forbidden for me to see all the pictures? When I tried to right click and "view image" it comes up FORBIDDEN.
The caption near one said there were two women in the photo and one was you. Very confusing as I saw two men and one woman.
I loved your creative signs. How do you stand being near these commie pinkos?
Did you write the post "We ALL got that SOB" yourself?
If so, I'd like your permission to send it to several units in the sand.
I didn't mean to. It is the result of the restrictions on FR that we cannot edit posts once made. All I did was copy the link to the photo above. I did not expect it to balloon up like that.
Oh, no problem. After I posted the note I was wondering if that is what it might be. All The Best, BJN
