Having conducted over a hundred of these support the troop events at Walter Reed Army Medical Center (WR), FReepers are rarely surprised at these events. On July 27, FReepers from DC Chapter and beyond were rewarded with a wonderful surprise ending after they braved several lines of storms before and during the weekly support the troops gathering.
(Here is a web page with the background of the event, which is also a FReep of the cruel Code Pinkos and their fellow travelers assembled down the block to continue their vicious taunting of wounded troops. It also describes the intense hatred that the venomous Pinkos have for our troops, except those troops who join Pinko efforts. Some photos from past FReeps will be added to the web page.)
The honor roll of those present:
Albion Wilde, Andrea *, Ashley from VA*, BufordP, Cindy-true-supporter, Deputy Dawg, Doreen from NJ *, Fraxinus, George & Ethel from MD *, Jimmy Valentine s brother, kristinn, Megan from VA*, PrezUSA222, tgslTakoma, Tom the Redhunter, trooprally (Mr. & Mrs.), VAFlagwaver, VictoryNY, and BillF. * = lurker
As opposed to our 21 patriots, the Pinkos managed to assemble only 6 America-hating traitors and their well-meaning, but misguided, dupes at their location down the street.
Just before the start of the FReep, a line of rather strong storms moved through the area. It was cloudy, but the rain had stopped when FReepers begin arriving at WR.
We talked with a few troops/patients from WR, but there weren't as many out and about as usual, possibly due to the unstable weather.
Photos are from trooprally (Mrs.) and I. Mine have DSCN in their names, whereas Mrs. T's photos have DSC0 in the names. Photos with borders are hyperlinked. Click on them and a larger version should appear in another window. All of Mrs. T's fine photos can be found here.

About 30 to 40 minutes into the FReep, the rain returned, but below photos were taken during lighter spells or after it stopped.

The Pinkos were down the street from us, as shown in the following two photos.

During the heavier rain, Mrs. T was able to get the following unusual photos, among others:

 Ducks assemble.

Towards the end of the FReep, we had a surprise to the East of us.
First FReep rainbow that I've seen or even heard of.
The bus arrives
As is often the case, a highlight of the evening is when the bus with wounded troops returns from a restaurant visit. We cheer as the troops wave and give us "thumbs up" signals.
If you can't get to D.C. to join us, but would like to do something for the wounded, FReepmailAlbion Wilde,Cindy-True-Supporter, or VAFlagwaver for some ideas.
Come join us every Friday night per below details between the hours of 6:30pm to approx 9:30pm.
