CA: Chico Rally After Action Report and Photos!
Chico Rally ^ | 10/30/2006 | Jim Robinson

Posted on 10/30/2006 3:57:57 PM PST by Jim Robinson

We had a great time at the rally and dinner Saturday in Chico!! And I think the people there were glad to see us too! I'm sure it gets tiresome to see the left out protesting week after week. Thank God we have Son of SoldierDad out supporting our troops every week, but it's hard doing it all alone. Lots of people honked, waved or gave us a thumbs up as they motored past and we had lots of pedestrians stop to thank us and talk to us too. One family even stopped and held signs and flags for a half our or so. Hoping maybe some of the Chico residents will start joining Son of SoldierDad in his lonely weekly support our troops vigil.

We really enjoyed meeting SoldierDad and family and it was an honor to stand with them in support of their soldier son and brother in Iraq and our troops! May God Bless and protect them all. We are so grateful for their service for our country and for our freedom.

Freepers present:
SoldierDad
Mrs. SoldierDad
Son of SoldierDad
Grand daughter of SoldierDad (Megan)
SoldiersPrayingMom
Jim Robinson
Sheila Robinson

Hi cybercowboy777. Glad to hear from you. I'm not a Chico native, but a transplant from circa 1964. My father was in the USAF, and we moved around a lot.

We will most certainly give you a ping for the next one. FYI, my son stands on that corner almost every Saturday from around 12:00 noon to around 3:00pm. If you have a free Saturday please feel free to stop by and say hi, or even join him.

I missed the boat on this one. I live within an hours drive and I would have been there if I had known about it.
Use this next time there is anything planned in Chico.

I was born in Chico @ Enloe Hospital.

Then we moved around a lot (My dad was in the USN).

After 12 years in the Navy, we moved back to Chico and then to Durham. Live there 6 years and then move to Washington.

My grandparents still lve in Durham and own rentals in Chico.

Good job, SD, that you and your family and "FRiends" did to support your troop, as well as the rest of the troops.
