It is all about our brave soldiers and their families. We are in this together, hopefully helping each other.

Every week, your FReeps get stronger. Great work, DC!

[darthyorktown]

Awesome! I couldn’t find that many pictures of the FReep on the 14th before I happened to see this! Nice pics and posting!!

[beachn4fun]

Great! Woo Hoo guyz & galz
BTW, did any of you hear about moveon.org?

[beachn4fun]

WOW! Lucky girl

[GodBlessUSA]

Thank you!! I really needed to read this today. :)

[trooprally]

Thanks for the heads up. Good to hear that move.on was so negatively written about in the WaPo, along with everyone else. The comments weren’t worth reading, so I wasted my time there.

Congratulations! 157 patriots! That is fantastic! What a great showing! Keep it up!

Mac held the corner on the 14th as I was having surgery. And a fine job he did as always! We weathered the deluge on the 21st with smiles and laughter (everyone is in a good mood because of the rain). Yes, we get rain in southern California. We put on our slickers and soldiered on!

Keep up the fantastic work!
