Week 259, April 2, 2010 - Good Friday at Walter Reed
FRONT GATE NOTES
We had a fairly quiet Good Friday night. There was no bus for wounded warriors and their families and it was a long weekend with many troops taking leave.
With no snow, sleet, rain, wind or cold to brace against, we had a chance to enjoy some good camaraderie and receive many honks of support from passing drivers.
Our MOAB (Mother Of All Banners) sends a strong message to the troops, their visiting families and all who drive past the front gate.
On April 9, 2010, the DC Chapter of Free Republic will mark Five (5) years and 260 consecutive Friday nights at the Front Gate of Walter Reed supporting and honoring our wounded warriors and their families.

Several moonbats were on station. Ms Trooprally and I always disagree on how many there were.
I think they put up moonbat - sized silhouettes to make it appear there are more of them.
The moonbats left early this week, staying just long enough to collect their union check.

Troop, is that you lurking ever so close behind those three beauties? Where is Mrs. T? Oh, is she behind the camera? Now we know why you keep her barefoot and behind the camera. Congratulations on five years of service to our country and our troops. God bless you one and all.
You guys are ACES!
By the time I got off work, you all were wrapping up. I don’t know how much more of these fricken late nights I can stand, but as long as I do them, I get to have an apartment.
And to the DC Chapter of Free Republic, thank you for your efforts. As a vet myself, who was never injured, I sincerely appreciate your honoring those of the military who gave more than most for the defense of this country. To do so on occasion would be admirable. To do so weekly for five years is amazing.
God bless you for your dedication in honoring our wounded warriors.
