Pictures:

Here is a shot of the donation booth where goods for our troops were dropped off. We collected about 50 boxes Sunday!

A color guard ws present, here is the Police on the left, the Patriot Guard in the middle, and the LEATHERNECKS Motorcycle club on the right

Korean War vets from the Orleans VFW present the colors

Several hundred people came during the day to make donations and to listen to different politicians:

Mass State Rep Jeff Perry was there

.

Mass Candidate to run against Ted Kennedy was there, Kevin Scott

Jeff Beatty is running against Mass Dem Delahunt, who is WORSE than Murtha, and we need ALL Massachusetts Freepers help in supporting and helping as much as we can!!

Jeff is standing to my left. he is a former Delta Force Officer, FBI, CIA and you may have seen him on FOX news a few times recently.

Believe it or not, I saved the best picture for last.

The young man in the cammies on the right is Dylan Disilva. He is about 13 or 14 years old.

He has collected and sent over 1000 boxes to the troops in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Freepers, a teenager has done more than ANY of us in supporting the troops as individuals.

Dylan is a YOUNG MARINE. And a darn good one!

Great start to the thread Tonkin :)

I hope our service people get a chance to enjoy themselves and watch these youngsters play ball. It's enjoyable although even I don't agree with some of the umpire's calls!!

God bless our troops, their family and God Bless America.

Thank you from a family grateful for your service.

"TT", Beth & Nana
