An Appreciative Local must have thought we were hungry as he drove past us because he bought us (BELOW - that is Eager helping Lurker Bill on our left flank) a bag of McD's double cheeseburgers and a bag of 20 oz. sodas. This meant he had to stop at two places since McD's does not sell bottled soda. Most of us chowed down immediately.
This Saturday we had also bought some Dunkin Donuts with the gift certificates (4 - $10 certificates) that another appreciative local gave us several months ago. It had been too cold to buy donuts previously but we did get some hot chocolate.
We have also received numerous cups of hot cocoa from other passer bys over the past two years. I can only remember twice that the moonbats have received the same treatment. FYI, Starbucks hot chocolate is terrible, Dunkin Donuts' white hot chocolate is very rich.
The roll call of our 11 Patriots included Legionnaire Dennis (Army - Korea), Lurker Bill and daughter, BufordP, Cindy_True_Supporter, Eager, Fraxinus, Kristinn, TPartyType, [Mrs] Trooprally and myself, [Mr] T.
NOTE: With the warm weather, on every 3rd Saturday, most Legionnaires will be at their yard sale.

Lets play "Find Supporters". This is similar to "Find Waldo" except you are looking for the supporters waving to us. Some are easy, others you need to look closely for as in the above pic. As soon as [Mrs] T gets back from visiting 3DJoy, she'll work on the circles that iMacMan uses. But for now, get out your reading glasses and magnifying glass. I've also made them larger for some who need it.
HeeeHeeeHeee - there is no one waving in the last pic. Fooled ya. More on the lady with the camera in a couple of weeks. Don't know who that is behind me. I was talking to the lady.
REMEMBER
Next Saturday, same place, Georgia Avenue, MD Rte. 97 and MD Rte. 108 in Olney
NEW TIME - 10:15 AM to 11:45 AM
As always, the D.C. Chapter's rules for protesting will be in effect. Briefly, they are: No violence, no profanity, no racism, no provocations, obey the law and treat all law enforcement officers with respect.
But a lot of verbal engagement in Olney is always welcome.
If you live in northern VA and want a short cut to Olney See Post 39 Here. It's an easy 20 minute drive from the American Legion Bridge.
A special Thanks to a FReeper FRiend for enhancing the original plain type directions.
The Archive of Olney FReeps is here or in the LINKS section of Trooprally's ABOUT Page.
WEATHER UPDATES HERE.
[Mr] & [Mrs] T
would you consider a new mission?
Operation Inflamer (Operation Chaos2.0)
Join the democrats’ protests and act like pissed-off Democrats. Im calling for operation inflamer - stage, participate in, and fire-up protests in DC, FL, and MI !!!!!!!!!!!! Gets the dems to eat themselves alive!!
“small but very fired up group of Floridians rallied in the street outside the Democratic National Committees headquarters here today, demanding that their primary votes be counted and threatening to literally block the doors of the Democratic Convention if they aren’t.”

RECREATE 68!
Good for those Appreciative Locals! You all deserve some double cheeseburgers and sodas. Glad to hear you used those Dunkin Donuts gift certificates from the other Appreciative Local. Nice to know that there are kind people out there appreciating all your dedication in Olney.
I enjoyed searching for all those waves and found them all. OK, I missed the one that wasn’t one in the last pic! HeHeHe Looking forward to hearing about the lady with the camera.
You beat me with your AAR but I am the 1st to comment on your AAR! Great pictures and good report. Thanks All!
Ok, 2nd one to post! Darn, beat again! :(
Outstanding report & pics! FR’s finest BUMP!
Thanks for all you do [and why you do it].
Sounds like a good way to keep the Rats occupied.
Personally I don’t have any time left to organize anything though I would probably attend something in D.C. Maybe someone else reading this AAR might be able organize.
I suggest that you post a thread on your thoughts and see what type of reception you get. And get onto the FL & MI state messege boards and put something on there.
Have you put this out on Gathering of Eagles and Eagles Up? If you can get a few people from each group then you will have a small crowd.

PS - don't expect donuts, hamburgers and sodas every time you come. Just expect a good time with lots of honks and waves.
[Mr] T
Great AAR Again did not expect less.
[Mrs T]
Good ideas, will do.
You are all wonderful. Enjoyed the pictures and comments
Too bad California is so far away. I have had to say this over the years, but very few people here who believe the RIGHT way.
The West Coast conservatives and troop supporters are quickly organizing, especially in the wake of Berkeley. Follow those threads and there should be a FReep near you.
But if not, try these other two great patriotic actions:
Recruiter Appreciation Day: That is in several weeks. You can do that by yourself or with some friends, and a couple of pizzas.
Or try the YouTube SmackDown of terrorists videos.
So there are several things you can help with.
