Walter Reed FReep 134 - Nov 9, 2007 - "WE WERE OUTNUMBERED!"

We were outnumbered...by the good guys from Gathering of Eagles (GOE)! They were in town to help celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Vietnam Wall Memorial Wall. These Eagles already had all 4 corners crowded before Mr Trooprally arrived at 6:40. Suzanne said she had been out there since 1pm!

GOE Honor Roll:

From North Carolina: YakFisher, Bubba Ross , Don M., Jaime S., Larry H., Lauri H., Trisha H., Doug L., Diane M., Cody, Chad, Henry M., erin-coda

From Pennsylvania: Doc L.

From Maryland: TJ, Suzanne, Pat M., Kevin M.

From Belize: Jim

From Virginia: Jim H., Candice, Phil, and baby daughter K., YorktownPatriot and DarthYorktown

From New Jersey: Frank, Little (F-something?? I can't read it.)

DC Chapter Freepers: BufordP, BillF, [Mr and Mrs] Trooprally, JoyJoyfromNJ, CindyTrueSupporter, VictoryNY, PresUSA222, Chief, kburi

AND Freeper eaglesnest1 visting from California. Be sure to check out her website Eagles Nest Foundation devoted to providing troops in Iraq and Afghanistan Christian materials.

You can watch and listen to YakFisher give "what for" to a useful idiot anti-war protestor here. YakFisher is one of the co-founders of MilitaryAppreciationDay.org

I'm afraid I can't provide good captions to many of the photos for all the fine people that I do not know save for the few I had a chance to talk to. The DC Chapter is extremely grateful to all of the Eagles and out-of-town Freepers. These people serve the troops in numerous ways.

Enjoy the pics!

You had me worried with the thread title!

Had fun joining the USO and troop families at this event this past week:

Microsoft and the USO Salute the Troops With a Spectacular Veterans Day

Great pics. The hippies don’t stand a chance. Too bad someone won’t do a documentary on this fine stand.

Rained all day, and chilly, but that didn’t keep the Eagles from staying away. They are a great bunch of patriots.

Count: FReepers, Eagles, Lurkers = 35 Moonbats = around 6

The Eagles enjoy walking down to the moonbats and verbally engaging them. The normal AARs from their trip down the block: They don’t have a clue, What morons, 'Bleep', 'Bleep'

Thanks to all of our out-of-towners who came by to support the troops.
