It had been several weeks since I had been to a Walter Reed FReep and I was getting anxious to get back. Personal matters, and the fact that I had been hard at work on several election campaigns in Virginia all conspired to keep me away. But all that is behind me now so I will again be a regular at our Friday evening FReeps.
So a note to all communists, pinkos, peaceniks, 60's leftovers, and other assorted whackos who might think that they can hang out in front of one of our hallowed military hospitals where heroes are recovering, be warned that I, The Redhunter have Returned. You will not be allowed to carry on your disgraceful anti-war protests unchallenged. Along with my fellow FReepers we will make sure that the gates to Walter Reed Army Medical Center are guarded by patriots.
Honor Roll of Attendees: Tom the Redhunter, Mr & Mrs Trooprally, Cindy_True_Supporter, Plea Deal, Jimmy Valentine's Brother, Fraxinus, Tolerance Sucks Rocks, Satin Patriot, Chief, Lurker Bill, Toothless Dawg, RonGKirby, OlgaESQ01, BufordP, the Fred half (of Fred & Ethel), GunsAreOK, VAFlagWaver, Jessica, and PrezUSA222, with a special guest appearance by Mike Sparling.
As many of you know, Mike's son Joshua Sparling is a soldier who was wounded in Iraq.
We counted 10 communists total, all of whom left promptly at 9:00 as always. If they stuck around the troops on the bus would give them the one-finger salute (I have personally witnessed this).
If you're new to all this and don't know the history behind our Walter Reed FReeps, this website has a good history of the event. David Horowitz' DiscoverTheNetwork also has a page on Code Pink that exposes their treachery. If I can plug my own website I've got several posts on how the whole thing got started and some of our early FReeps. Lastly, if you can stand it, visit the Code Pink website and check them out yourself.
Without further ado, here are some pics of the evening, taken by faithful FReepers Mrs Trooprally and Plea Deal.
The weather wasn't so good this evening so we didn't deploy the MOAB. Here's BufordP in front of the mini-MOAB (can I call it that?)
Chief and new FReeper Satin Patriot
I think this is Toothless Dawg, with apologies if I'm wrong
The obligatory photo of the sad pinkos
What It's All About
What the whole evening comes down to is greeting the troop bus when it comes by sometime after 9. (Plea Deal, somehow I'm not able to size down your photos)
This Friday
This coming Friday is, of course, the day after Thanksgiving. As such, many of our regular FReepers will not be able to attend.
We are putting out a special notice to anyone who can to please try and attend. We know it's difficult and everyone reading this has family obligations. All we're saying is that if there is any way you can attend please consider doing so.
Come join us every Friday night between the hours of 6:30pm to approx 9:30pm.

I have a few of your cell phone numbers & email addys but dont want to share w/o your permission.
If you are willing for me to send her (via her Blackberry) please FReepmail me???? I they may need help in various ways with directions. I know how frustrating it can be.
Name is Maximus Ridiculousness - She will NOT be going on line but will be checking her email. I have NOT given up hope of perhaps swinging a quickie trip on Friday also.. who knows???

We start at around 6:30 but people drift in all evening. Let me know what additional information you need and I’ll help as best I can.
You can also send me email at redhunter43@yahoo.com
Hope to see you there
Tom
Thanks Tom. Sent you FRMail with the contacts info..
FReepmail me to be added to / deleted from this once-weekly ping list.
Welcome back Tom. Thanks for the AAR. I look forward to them every week. Happy Thanksgiving to all.
BUMP. To all you patriots, thank you and God bless you for all you do to support our troops and our country!
Happy Thanksgiving to all !

Well done on the report!
Thanks for the ping. Great report, great FReepers, and great pictures. I wonder, though, why are all the pinkos’ signs yellow? Yellow for cowardice, I wonder? Happy Thanksgiving from California to all, and God bless you for your wonderful support of our wounded warriers!
And yes, that is Toothless Dawg. He and Satin_Patriot were originally Eagles but now also come to Walter Reed. Dawg has also been to Westminster’s FReep.
And Thanks for being early. Now I need to get the Olney AAR out. Biggest problem as you know is weeding out the pics from two FReepers to get the best few. Tough job but someone has to do it.
Happy Turkey Day to you Tom, and to all reading this AAR.

Givingthanks.

Hey all! I will be there Friday, Lord willing. I will need to leave at 7:30 though. I need to get to VA by 9. With traffic the way it is, I might be late leaving then.
The RedHunter has returned and he is not wearing safety orange.
Bad news for quislings.
