West Chester Rally ~ 02/16/2008

The weather on this mid-February Saturday was near perfect. I arrived early to see many new faces among our crowd and recurring favorites! I am ever inspired by the tenacity and commitment of our group - all of you are my rock!

One gentleman, Dan, and his son drove from Maryland to participate in our weekly victory rally. His son, John, is scheduled to start his basic training at Ft. Benning this coming Wednesday. The membership of the CCPM extends a heartfelt 'good luck' to John as he embarks on his chosen career. We also look forward to standing with Dan at future rallies here in West Chester.

I have to say that it is always a joy to see our balloons and flags decorating the steps of the Courthouse as I walk upon the corner. One of these days, I am going to get a good photo to share with the readership. Until then, I would like to introduce one of our finest - Frank - a WW2 veteran who recently joined our group on the steps of the Courthouse.

Frank is never shy about his opinion on war, that honesty is what I admire about this gentleman.

Video here.

I've got to give kudos to Bob K's creative ways to combat the message of despair from the other side. This week, he prepared for a rumored visit from Code Pink by creating a custom packaged soap to hand out to them.

God Bless Them All. I too know a young person who starts basic for the Air Force next week. America’s young will do us proud. Our young people recognize the threat, unlike our D.C. crowd and D.C.’s ‘islam is a religion of peace’ quotes.

I got one of the bars of soap to Medea Benjamin at the Westminster, MD, action that night!

Bob K you are a genius! Or an evil mastermind!
Whichever you prefer!

My compliments!

I re-read it, when I first saw it, and knew what you meant...No problem for me.

I bet you will be more clear next time though. DC Chapter Members are so dedicated that we do not want anyone to quote FR, when the meaning is unclear.

Starman417—Thanks for putting Skye’s AAR up here on FR.

I wonder how many FReepers who hate Democrats will choke when they realize that you just posted a FloppingAces entry from a Democrat.

Yes, my FRiends, “Skye” is a Philly Democrat.

In the future make sure you put “, PA” in the title. I wasn’t sure if West Chester was near Sheboygan or across from Podunk.

Of course, put the “PA” in brackets after the title, since the original source didn’t have it. :-)
