All-Cannot express what a great day it was yesterday to be at the Patriot's Rally!

What a beautiful, detailed and terrific report! You touched my heart. Thank you for all of these wonder posts and for caring so much about supporting our courageous, and perhaps lonely but oh so prepared troops! It was an honor to meet and greet veterans and to stand with so many who passionately care about our nation's defenders.

I am so glad to met you-you are a powerful and energetic force for good.

That was a loooooooooooong trip home, brother! And again-you summations of the day were TOP DRAWER! Kudos, what an honor to stand beside you and the other patriots. It was not easy in that weather-but isn't it amazing how taking a stand for something you believe in can make even a wet to snow blizzard bearable? :^)
