Tom the Redhunter's report on last Friday's Walter Reed Support Our Troops Freep #85.
Tom is correct - the temps started out warm, but dropped like a rock. Our noses might have been cold, but our hearts were warmed by the troops who came out to talk to us and thank us for caring about them. God Love 'em. They volunteer to defend and protect complete strangers; how could we not be here every Friday to remind them that we love them and appreciate their service and sacrifice.
Please join us if you are in the area. It's wintertime here in DC, but our Freeps will continue.
Thanks, Tom, for the great report. I think having a rolling team of report-writers is a good idea. Thanks to all on that "team," too!

Great report and thanks to the FReeper Warriors who always do a great job at Walter Reed.
From your West Coast FReepers and Protest Warriors who do the same at Naval Medical Center, San Diego.

TOM -
Great AAR - Thanks for taking the time to write it. The mini-MOAB was given to the Olney FReep this past spring by an Iraqi Vet. We proudly display it there also. As you say, the great thing is, it is all weather.
The pic you reference me in with the mini-MOAB, is myself and BufordP setting it up. Buford is behind and holding the other end of the banner, also in short sleeves. Usually it is a one FReeper job, but the wind was so bad, it took two FReepers this night.
PLEA DEAL - Great pics and thanks for doing double duty last Friday.

I must confess, since I'm usually there, I breeze through the AARs. Unless you write them. ... Then I don't read them at all.
JUST KIDDING!
GREAT REPORT!

Outstanding report Tom. You are so right...the troops come out to thank us, but the BLESSING IS ALL OURS.
I can't believe it sometimes, they ARE doing the hard work, and then they thank us for being there. I know it's hard to fight without support so maybe that's why they thanks us...just for the support.
Anyone who lives in the area, and doesn't go to the Walter Reed FReep at least ONCE has no idea what they are missing. You never know who you'll meet, or where they'll be from, but the bottom line is...it's an experience you'll not soon forget. If nothing else, you'll spend an evening talking with some very patriotic FReepers. There ARE worse ways to spend an evening.

And once again, anyone who thinks that all these rallies are meaningless exercises in feelgoodism is severely mistaken. Over the past year and a half I've heard from probably over a hundred troopers, their relatives, and WR employees, and I'll tell you that everyone in there knows that we're out there and the vast majority appreciate it.Yeah! What he said!
