They knew they were freepers at the vp house. In Barbara Bush's book she said Doro? disguised herself and participated.

Kristinn - great to see this. How did the invite come about?

You guys! I am so jealous---but so proud of you and so happy that you had this chance. You have all earned it, and it's great to see you get it!

Keep up your good work---hope to join you on those 4 corners again one day soon.

I am so glad the DC Chapter was recognized for the outstanding support they and visiting FReepers give each and every Friday night at Walter Reed. Congratulations to all that participate.

"Wonder how this invitation will shake up Bill O’Reilly’s ignorant comment that our patriotic FR is a “hate group”? ROTFLOL"

Good point.

[barker]

WOO HOO!! President Bush knows who his FRiends are. Well deserved recognition for all your hard work.

Absolutely Awesome

Thank you for the wonderful report & great pix and the ping! So happy you were all able to share the joy of celebration with real patriots. You are most of the time in the trenches butting heads with jerks. And what perfect weather. You all look great.. and I even recognized Mr. T in his disguise(a tie???)

[EDINVA]

No group is more deserving of a White House invitation than those who were there today. The families of the slain, those serving, vets, and DC’s faithful FReepers.

Snappy outfit on Mr. T.
I’m thrilled for each one of you!!

[Mr. Silverback]

Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of folks!

[Freedom2specul8]

I’m so happy and tickled for you and the rest of the Freepers getting to meet the President! I can’t hardly believe it... After all the years of work and hard labor....Congratulations and God Bless you!! What a wonderful honor.

I’m sure I speak for all of FR when I say how proud we are to have you representing us in DC.

You all so deserve the praise!!

[SoldiersPrayingMom]

You all are so Special!!

All of us FReepers out here in FReeperland are proud of all you DC FReepers that got the special invitation to the WH. You DC FReepers are the very best to represent FReeRepublic.com and we’re happy that Prez GW and the first lady thinks so too.

Way to go!!! You all are very deserving!!! : ))

Thanks to all FReepers and especially our extraordinary D.C. Chapter. The dedication these Ladies and Gents demonstrate to our beloved Republic and her military, both serving and veterans is an inspiration. We are all so proud of you.

WOW!

[trooprally]

You all make me blush. Good thing there is a shadow on my face. I was hoping no one would recognize me without my cigar and tall flag pole.

The tie is my Marine Bull Dog tie. You can just make out the Bull Dogs on it.

We'll get a narrative up hopefully today about at least [Mrs] T's and my time there. We'll ping you all.

Thanks to all for representing the DC Chapter and FreeRepublic.
Thanks to Jim Robinson without whom none of this would be possible.
