I was there. Volunteered in the hospitality tent and met lots of Freepers - some famous and some well-known on this forum.
Was it really 20 years ago? Yikes. It was. :-O
I remember going out of the tent from time to time to mingle with the crowd, dispensing water bottles for folks with doggies. What wonderful people I met at the rally, before and after. Mostly I remember the overall decency of the participants.
During the March one Freeper carried a giant sign with a photograph of Ronald Reagan that said “Now that was a President!” I wondered then if we would ever have a President like Reagan again as the Clintons had fouled up the system so much one could see and feel the apathy or shrugged acceptance of corruption from the public. (I am so thankful to have lived to see President Donald J. Trump and his lovely wife First Lady Melania do their best to fight the Deep State criminals and restore optimism to the White House!)
Afterwards Freepers left the march and rally areas clean. I know so because we bought garbage bags that were dispersed by the volunteers. Other Freepers brought them too and picked up the messes around them. One of the Park officers thanked us as we were dumping trash into bins. He said it was much appreciated and rarely happened after these kinds of events.
God Bless JimRob, Freepers and American Patriots everywhere! I am blessed to have been a part of this past event.
Thanks for reminding me the official name of that tent. In my post above, I called it information/assist tent. You folks were wonderful and provided a central place for the crowd to get info and provided the on-site Doctor a place for his services. Or am I wrong?
Yes, the decency, courtesy, and comradery was amazing. After all was done, I later broke down in my room just thinking about what had just happened. Thank you for being part of it. It still chokes me up.
“Afterwards Freepers left the march and rally areas clean.”
I attended many FReeps in the DC area between the March for Justice and Feb 2004 when I had to move to Jacksonville, and I will tell you that we FReepers ALWAYS left the rally areas cleaner than we found them.
We also thanked the Park Police and the WDC Police for being there for us!
FRicking LIEberals ALWAYS trashed their locations - made NO effort to clean up after themselves!
I could go on a super-long anti-LIEberal rant, but won’t. Gotta keep the good vibrations going and upbeat!
