Great report BP you did good!! You have to remember we do have some butt heads on the drive byes. It was great to see the Soldiers come out.
I was so glad it was not so cold.

I said telling a soldier that you don't like him doing what he's doing is much the same as telling a fireman you don't like them putting out fires, telling a cop you don't like them catching criminals. They had never thought of it that way.

It's a shame that too many people today don't seem to understand the military and their role in the world. It's good someone made this point to at least two people.

It certainly IS a shame. And it would be a great surprise to our WWII veterans to know that today's public school-educated American children are not being taught any concept of the valor of serving in the military forces.

Ping to Walter Reed #98 - BufordP Reporting!

[PleaDeal]

Don't blame BufordP for the incorrect Honor Roll - it's all MY BAD! Tantor and TFroatz were NOT there, but Citizen SMASH was. Soooooo Soooorrry!!!!!

[R. Scott]

Great!

[Bigg Red]

God bless all of you. Thank you for the flag.

Great report, as usual, BP.

[Madame Dufarge]

A bump and endless thanks to our heroes in uniform and our FReeper heroes.

Great report and photos! God Bless you all for being there ALL THE TIME!!! The Zoomie's love our friends in DC.
See you all on March 16th and 17th. How about an after action Guinness?

I thought the same thing when I read that. I'll try to remember those words should I ever have a conversation similar.

I am also happy to see the crowd getting larger and the troops coming out.

Keep up the great work.

[Mrs.Nooseman]

WTG.
Awesome report.

[trooprally]

Great report BufordP and Plea Deal. (I'm also patting myself on the back as I one finger type this).

Thanks also to Plea Deal and [Mrs] T for taking pics. At least their cameras didn't freeze up that night.

The bus came early tonight, just a little past 9. There was a Metro bus and tanker truck immediately in front of it and we were surprised that it was suddenly there. But they received the regular hoots and hollers and support from us.

We've had several people stop by over the almost TWO YEARS at WR. They usually walk away with a different perspective after talking with the FReepers there, especially BufordP and Jimmy Valentines Brother. They also accept/ask for flags which we readily give to them.

Of course there are also those who we argue with but can't even dent their closed minds. Those people usually don't know any one in Iraq or the service and only listen to the drive by media.

The pinkos have been desperate the last several months with their red banner seeking people to come out. There numbers remain constant at below a dozen (usually 7 - 8) where even on the coldest nights, we get 15 plus FReepers/lurkers and college Republicans,

Milestone FREEP 100 is the Friday before the March 17 Rally. If you'll be in D.C. come on by. We'll have plenty of Support the Troop signs for everyone. [Mr] T

Bump!

[Doctor Raoul]

...when a southbound moron, while stopped at the red light, yelled out his car window to all of us, "Why don't you go over there and get killed!"

THERE IS NO LOGIC ON THE MOONBAT LEFT.
