Ping! One of y'all leaders please ping the DC Chapter!

[Albion Wilde]

National mega-ping! Enjoy, and stay warm!

[proud_yank]

If all of you drove in on SUVs, that might have made the temp a bit warmer!

Someday, I really want to make it to a DC FReep. Looks like a lot of fun!

[Albion Wilde]

n SUVs, that might have made the temp a bit warmer!

Most of us leave that to the environmentally-conscious lefties down the street...

[incredulous joe]

God bless you all,...real good!

I find it heart warming if not body warming, to know, that the decision making process for the Walter Reed Freep, or for any of life's decisions by Freepers everywhere, is governed not by personal comfort, personal needs, political oneupmanship, angry and divisive ideas, principles, or reasons, but by Love of country, "The Mission", What the men in harms way, are having to endure, and a multiplicity, of thoughts unrelated to me, me, me, I, I, I.

IOW the exact opposite of the apparent thought processes of those with the hate America, hate the war, hate my life, think I'll eat some worms, complex that inhabit something on the order of 30 to 40 percent of the oxygen breathing bipeds of the land. God Bless the steadfastness of those who do so much to honor those great men and women upon whom our liberty and freedoms rest, The Troops.

Great report and pics.

Kudos to everyone who made it to Walter Reed. Real good crowd of FReepers and Young Republicans. Glad to see YRs made it out once again.

With the bitter cold weather, I'm sure glad [Mrs] T and I told everyone in advance that we wouldn't be able to be there last Friday. I hate to be called a 'weeeenie' by anyone - (BufordP) - other than [Mrs] T.

But with WARMER WEATHER THIS FRIDAY, we'll be back.

I do, BiffF does, and more of us have SUVs. I think it is not making a big difference at all. Maybe Algore is not telling the truth.

But he was super serial!!

[DollyCali]

Great Report Albion Wilde!

What an honor to stand tall
with all the DC FReepers at Walter Reed!

Baby it’s (VERY) cold outside!!!!

AND WINDY! ~~ I am guessing the wind-chill temp was in single digits. Occasional warm ups in the cars occurred, the wonderful comfort station (thanks Takoma) was a BIG HIT. Like the US Mail FReeping is NOT weather controlled/dependent and Friday night at Walter Reed was meaningful & fun for all participants, despite the chilly weather.

Here are a few more of my offerings of pix from the evening. I find in cold weather, I do NOT take as many pix normally.

Now I really feel out of it.. I did NOT see Ilowew!!! I had thought she had already left the DC area. We were all so bundled up, who knows whom might have been "lurking"!


Lurker Mark & GunsareOK




Olgaesq1, surely the MOST bundled up & cozy looking! I didn't personally meet her (but we did say Hi thru the "brrrrs"!)




Assembling the MOAB




I am grateful my dear FRiend Mark was part of our weekend of FReeping & Festivities. He has gotten links & heard about FR for years. Now we just need a clever and appropriate screen-name for him!!!!

[BufordP]

I don't care much for those Order of the Ice Cube awards. Mine melted.

[DollyCali]

Ohio "buddy" Ping!

I left COLD Ohio for a few days...to arrive in VERY cold DC for this FReep. Come on over & take a look at what we are going to be doing in Ohio hopefully in near future..NO NOT FREEZING... but having a strong group of locals!

My pix in opening & at post 17

Looks like fun, despite the cold!
