NOTICE:
Some weeks back, someone left a flag on a flagpole at our corners after a WRAMC FReep. If you are missing a flag, please let me know, otherwise, I will hang onto it and we will keep flying it proudly at WRAMC and whenever else I feel fit. Thanks!
LOL Bump. Swollen and throbbing. You been readin’ too much Spitzer and Paterson stuff lately.
Very impressive. GOd Bless the work you all do!!
I would suggest trying to get more flags of our allies.
Other than that, excellent night.
Great report, and the attendance was astounding!
I would suggest not using that new street-side motto too much...
EXcellent idea!
"I wasn't there Syncro - honest!"
‘a few of them began singing an ancient anti-war tune, “Give Peace a Chance.” Most of us who heard it cracked up in laughter...’
I am laughing just imagining it. Peaceniks are so passe!
Interesting commentary and very nice pictures. Thanks to you all!
That night was a moment in time I will never forget. I really enjoyed finally being able to put faces with names!
If anyone happened to capture the Westminster gang in pictures could you let me know? I would love to have a few. Hubby and I left our camera in the hotel room.
DC Chapter Ping!
Fantastic AAR!
Very interesting information about Walter Reed too, so thank you for doing the research. It is a large facility but I must say some of the numbers still surprised me.
Hope to see a big crowd March 28 for the 3 year WR FReep anniversary too!
Excellent AAR and terrific pictures! Wow, you did well with all those names too, SP! Thanks for including the stats about WR and the patients. It was an honor and pleasure for me and my family to finally make it to WR! We enjoyed our time with so many dedicated Patriots while supporting our brave Troops. We will be back!
wy - We have Poland, Australia, Great Britain, South Korea. I know we need Ukraine what other countries?
how wonderful it must have been to be with so many patriots & the weather was NOT a blizzard so a second blessing
Thanks to all the FReepers for your loyal participation to this work. God Bless you all & may you have a wonderful Easter. Wondering if you are going to be there Good Friday..
Thank you Freepers. I am so proud to have you as fellow Americans.
Thanks for a great AAR!!
Thanks also should go out to American Truth Warriors, Paul Couturier and Skye who were broadcasting the event live on Blog Talk Radio Friday and Saturday!!!

I have noticed over the years that those reporting the events struggle with recalling everyone who was present. Have you thought of bringing a legal pad and haveing everyone who comes "sign in", giving their handle, state, organization, and any comments they would like to add. That would certainly help the person writing the AAR. If anyone fails to register, then they don't get mentioned. Then it's their own fault and no apology is necessary.
Oh, waitaminute... the MSM DIDN'T write a story about the troop supporters. I guess the MSM doesn't think that a weekly, three years running, rally for the troops is newsworthy.
Not to worry, though. We have bypassed the MSM and thousands and thousands of people around the world know about the Walter Reed Freeps, and probably close to a thousand (maybe more) people from around the world have stood with us on a Friday night.
Hmmm... maybe that would be interesting to check by going through all of the past Freep reports' Honor Rolls, and make a "Three Year Honor Roll."
Hey, Buford! I don't know how to cut and past names from all the reports and then alphabetize them (so that I can remove duplicate names of those of us who are "the regulars"). Can you call me or Freepmail me and give me instructions?
Satin_patriot, thank you again for all your hard work writing up this beautiful report.
