You should say "North Texas". The closest the tour is coming to me is still 200 miles away.

Dangit!

Too far north for me.

Let me know if they hit Houston.

San Antonio is no farther North than Houston, just a little drive west on I-10. Little by Texas Standards anyway. My wife and I have a long distance marriage right now, except during the summer. We commute around 4 hours, and that's an improvement over when I was in San Antonio, which was about 6 hours.

I intend to be at both Waco and Crawford. Waco is about an hour, a bit more, and then Crawford is on the long way back to Killeen.

Good point geographically but I still can’t break away long enough to get away as far as San Antonio. I am east of Houston and working about 70 hours per week or so.

oh :( Wish I had seen this before now. Waco is only a bit of a drive, and I’ve been looking for an excuse to go to Crawford.

Did you have a good turnout?

I was at both Waco and Crawford. Most of the people at Waco were also at Crawford. I'd say 20-30 at Waco, maybe 30-40 at Crawford.

Very disappointing turnout.

Sorry you were disappointed

The troops will be quite uplifted by the support of the people that attended

You should have said hi to the other FR people there

It would have been nice to meet you.

The Surge is Working In Iraq and the troops are doing a FANTASTIC job!

Oh BTW did you notice the caravan of 20 to 30 cars with people in support of the Troops and Their Mission Supporters? All the way from Waco to Crawford?

That was a FANTASTIC turnout IMO...
