[trooprally]

Yep, Dr Raoul is one of a kind patriot, husband, father and grandfather. He is sorely missed.

[Mr] T

[trooprally]

I was remiss in pinging you both.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

The TRs

Anyone still have theirs ?    lol

 

A very Merry Christmas to all you chapter warriors and your families !

You are welcome from the DC Chapter and others who made this thread so great.

I beleive your card is before my days with FR though it looks familiar. I need to check my stack of cards just in case.

They were in a plastic sleeve with a safety pin dealy on the back to stick on our coats, hats, etc.

Prolly made up about 50 of 'em with the nicks of most of the usual suspects who'd threatened attendance on the day in question.

Think it was the day Moynihan stopped and chatted with us awhile . . .

[trooprally]

Definitely before my time. Thanks for your efforts.

To the Trooprallys, I wish you a wonderful and blessed Christmas and may 2014 be happy, healthy and prosperous for you! And, may God bless you for all you do in support of our great country and our military and their families!

[trooprally]

Thank you. And so far it is turning out real nice. Our daughter and two grand kids have been here since last night. And after opening the gifts, breakfast is on the stove.

[kristinn]

Even in the slow years the chapter is very active. Thanks for taking the time and effort to post this remembrance.

Merry Christmas!

[trooprally]

Dittos back at you - Merry Christmas.

[Mr] T

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Merry Christmas!

Combined General and Maryland PING!

[Jimmy Valentine's brother]

Nicely done

[Jimmy Valentine's brother]

So tell us about the time you and the Doctor were driving to the airport after a hot day in Crawford, TX

[Syncro]

Thanks for the ping, I hope you had a very pleasant Christmas and Happy New Year!

Great write-up and pics, thanks a bunch

[sauropod]

I remember that. In fact I think I have it on Hi-8 somewhere...

[tomkat]

Pod, your reply prompted me to poke around in some of the old stuff .. seems that Moynihan was at our Navy Memorial bash at the end of Sep'01, and the nametags made their appearance a month later at a White House FReep.

With no intention of hijackin' your thread TR, here's a mini stroll down memory lane for you ol'timers :

Navy Memorial 29 Sep '01

       

White House 27 Oct '01
