CA: Chico Rally After Action Report and Photos!

Chico Rally ^ | 10/30/2006 | Jim Robinson

[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.

Lookin' good, you guys. Thanks for the photo ping. Would have loved to have been there.

[Amerigomag]

Thanks for the ping.

You and I may have some disagreement on the nuances of advancing the conservative agenda but I have absolute respect for your dedication to honoring the sacrifice of those in our uniformed services.

When I viewed the photo of you sitting on the street corner, slugging it out in relative obscurity, I though of my father, who risked his life in similar obsurity, not for fame or fortune, but because he understood it was right and necessary to preserve the freedom he enjoyed.

Thank you for reminding me.
