Walter Reed FReep Week 97 -- Almost Missed the Bus!
Washington, DC, February 23, 2007 -- Comrade Bruce doesn't like being left out of the spotlight. Poor guy, saw a camera truck and went nuts!
Around 7pm, a NBC crew was finishing up a story about Building 18 (the Barracks) on Georgia Avenue. TFroatz was standing by and asked the on-air talent "What's up?" They exchanged a few words, shook hands and parted ways. Bruce was across the street at the designated anti-America "vigil" station watching the brief scene play out. When the NBC guys headed back to their truck, Bruce called out "Hey, what about me? You have to interview me, too!"
What? "How can you be fair if you only get one side? I question your journalistic integrity!!!!!" No kidding... Bruce was most upset at not being "interviewed". Aaawwwwww!

| Lucky for him, Tantor stepped up and let the poor commie babble to his heart's content. | |

Citizen SMASH tried to interview the whole bunch of Pinkos, but they didn't want to talk to him.
Here's the audio of the exchange. |
SMASH: Can I ask you guys a question? WOMAN: Yeah, sure. SMASH: Can any of you name three soldiers being treated at this hospital? The woman muttered something nonsensical about "breach of confidentiality." I turned to Bruce Wolf, the leader of the group. SMASH: Three? SMASH: Two? SMASH: Can you name one? BRUCE: And yet, they're all my brothers and sisters. True to form, he said this with his back turned to me. SMASH: But you support them, right? BRUCE: That's why we're out here. SMASH: Well, thanks for your support, anyway. |
Did I mention that it was cold? Really, really cold? And windy?
 Sensei Ern all bundled up against the wind. Until he gets on his motorcycle to go home -- then he adds another layer of 'safety vest'. |

 Mrs. Trooprally and Cindy-True-Supporter. Mrs. T said a particularly noisy car of wounded warriors turned in to the hospital yelling "Thank you!" and even "We Love You!!!". |
 Mr. Trooprally looking stoic against the frigid elements. Or, maybe he's just frozen... |
 Bill from MD* and 2ndClassCitizen (who said he came to add a little 'moderation' to our crowd -- Thanks 2ndClass!) |
 Jimmy Valentine's Brother and GunsAreOK amid lots of patriotic sign. |
The bus filled with wounded warriors and family came back from the weekly Fran O'Brien's dinner very late. We had just given up hope of ever seeing it and started to tear down when it finally came. I didn't get a shot of the bus, so here's RandolfS, Danielle*, Tom the Redhunter and Fraxinus instead.
The whole list of FReepers & FRiends in attendance last Friday (If I missed anyone - please let me know!): 2ndClassCitizen, Bill from MD*, Cindy-True-Supporter, Citizen SMASH, Danielle*, Fraxinus, George & Ethel*, GunsAreOK, Jimmy Valentine's Brother, Just A Nobody, Kristinn, PleaDeal, RandolfS, Sensei Ern, Tantor, TFroatz, tgslTakoma, Tom the Redhunter, Trooprally [Mr. & Mrs], VAFlagWaver.
There's only one set of pics this week and the collection can be viewed here.
We'll be back out at Walter Reed Friday night, March 2nd, from 6:30 until at least 9:30 at the intersection of Georgia Avenue and Elder Street, NW in Washington, D.C.
The wounded warriors inside the hospital are heartened by the sight of ordinary citizens cheering for them and displaying our thanks for the service and sacrifice they've made on our behalf.
A couple hours this Friday night is very little to give compared to what they've contributed!
If you can't get to D.C. to join us but would like to do something for the wounded, you can find a wealth of ideas by FReepmailing Albion Wilde, Cindy-True-Supporter, VAFlagwaver or PleaDeal.
Keeping the BIG LIST: All DC Chapter Walter Reed FReeps - c/o BufordP.
Ping to kinda late WR #97
Extended ping to Walter Reed #97
FReepmail me to get on/off the list.
Thank you guys, thamk you, thank you, thank you.
I'm proud of all you guys. Please keep up the great work
God Bless all of you DC FReepers. I can't be there with you in person, but I'm with you there in spirit. If I should ever come to DC, it would be to FReep with you guys first and see the sights second. Just point me in the direction of the leftists. LOL!
I can't even begin to imagine how cold you are (it was only 61 here today!) but as always all y'all are awesome just for showing up. Thanx.
Thank you for being there and showing support!!
Great report, PleaDeal!
Poor, poor Bruce. He just can't get a break.
Thankfully, it's supposed to go up to 61 degrees tomorrow to melt away the rest of the snow, but it will be raining and it's supposed to dip down below freezing at night. So wrap up, y'all!
Ditto everything Trteamer said.
The WR FReep that night is going to be HUGE! Patriots are coming from across America for GOE.
FReeper "Just A Nobody" is trying to find me a place to stay. Anyone got a corner I can curl up in? All I ask is no smoking and no pets. I'm allergic to the fur. FReepmail me if you can help.
Thanks DC Chapter for all you do!
Go have a few choice words with Code Pink for me buddy! I look foreward to the report.
Hope the CPAC FReepers come by and party till the bus(es) come by. It might be warm enough to get pizza.
WR regulars, bring extra signs if you have them!
[Mr] T
I plan to go up to them and ask:
"Do you guys have any idea just how many Vietnam Vets, Bikers and Patriots are going to the Gathering of Eagles to counter you Commies? THOUSANDS! See you at the Wall Comrade, and I'm whippin' your @ss if you try to spray paint it!"
I'll let you know how they like that.
Kudos and buuump!
BTTT
Took you that long to get thawed out?
To clarify about giving up on the bus. Normally the troops get back from dinner between 2115 Hrs and 2145 Hrs. We had held hard until 2230 Hrs. So I think it was more of an advance to the rear thana retreat. It was the first time that I had to take a break and sit in a car.
I believe that it will be warmer this Friday.
