Trooprally's son, Staff Sgt., USMC, FReeps at Olney: Wk 72-Olney,MD 5-12-7:Operation Infinite FReep

Our son, Staff Sgt., USMC, and his family were in town this weekend before his mid-June deployment to Iraq.

BELOW LEFT: Our son with Legionnaire Halsey, USMC, Korean War Vet. Our son's chin hair is part of the relaxed dress code for under cover investigators. BELOW RIGHT: [Mrs] T, "MOM", stopped by while out getting some last minute things for our big family get together later in the day. Cindy_True_Supporter holds her sign directed at the moonbats across the street.

I have to digress a little from the thread. I have thought hard on whether to add the following info. [Mrs] T and I have gotten some sour looks and comments from FReepers when we tell them our son is a NCIS investigator. I need to say here, that he has been with NCIS for a little over a year now and he is NOT connected with the Pendelton 8 or other similar investigations. Concerned about comments we might receive about our son, we have not posted on the Pendelton 8 threads. But I will say this, the Pendelton 8 Marines are getting treated badly and we would love to see their case dropped.

Let me also say this. Our son is proud to be a Marine. He has the old Corps attitude. This attitude got him an invite by an Iwo Jima Vet to their reunion. And our son was only a Lance Corporal at the time. He was in "Marine Corps heaven" at the reunion listening to the "salty" tales. He now has 11 years in the Corps.

Also, our son is proud of his work. It was NCIS who requested that he be transferred from the Marines' Criminal Investigative Services to NCIS. They heard about his excellent investigative work. Our son's commander didn't want to lose him to NCIS but knew it would be best for his career.

With that said, continuing with the thread.

Having our son and his family with us this week was great. He got to hear all the honks and see the waves in support of our military. He also got to see the lack of support for the moonbats and the reaction of some drivers.

FReepers and Lurkers in attendance today were Cindy_True_Supporter, (CTS), BufordP, Olney-Keith, Lurker Bill and his daughter, (aka Lurker Bill from MD on Walter Reed AARs), Legionairre Halsey, myself ([Mr] T).

We once again out numbered the 4 moonbats.

Olney-Keith had to drive past the moonbats to get to our corner and was going to yell at them. But upon seeing their age up close, he couldn't do it. But he did honk and wave to us before pulling into the parking lot behind us.

BELOW LEFT: BufordP and Lurker Bill bringing blue banner from the car. BELOW RIGHT: It must have been a rough day for everyone. It took Halsey, BufordP and L. Bill's daughter to set up the blue banner that usually L. Bill sets up by himself. CTS and local Barb chat in the back ground.

BELOW LEFT: Vets in attendance this week: Cindy_True_Supporter, BufordP, Korean War Vet Halsey and our son. BELOW RIGHT: L. Bill's daughter, Olney-Keith and L. Bill in back ground. L. Bill's daughter was in stitches laughing when a car, stopped for the red light, kept blaring their horn for the whole time.

BELOW: Our Corner. There are four banners in the pic. The white one with the 5 service emblems and "We Support Our Troops" is attached to the light pole.

BELOW LEFT: Our left flank. BELOW RIGHT: Our right flank.

BELOW: SEMPER FI and THANK YOU to ALL our Military Personnel

Someone asked me to pass this along:

"The samples you sent turned out to be
bat quano with traces of green cheese.
That spells moonbat, or, as Ducky would say:
Myotis Lunarious."

[trooprally]

Thanks, and you’ve spent time at WR and other FReeps, so kudos back at you.

[Mr] T
