Today was a great day in the town of Milledgeville, GA. A pro-Military and pro-America rally was organized by fellow FReeper eyespysomething. It took place in front of the courthouse in the downtown historical district.

Approximately 200+ pro-America people turned out for the events which started with a color-guard presentation and various guest speakers. A singer was present, giving wonderful renditions of patriotic songs for the crowd.

There were only 2 anti-American demonstrators present and accounted for. They boldly displayed thier "War for Oil" and anti-president Bush placards at the rear of the crowd.

LBGA, .45MAN and myself arrived late having totally misjudged the ride-time to the rally from Atlanta. We left Norcross, GA at 10:00 a.m. and arrived to the rally at noon, a half-hour after it began. Because of this, I do not have details on who all the speakers were that eyespysomething lined up, but am hoping she'll post additional information to the thread.

LBGA spoke about her son who is stationed overseas and was very clear (directed to the anti-America duo) as to how important it is at this time to support our troops deployed overseas. Another couple with two sons in the Marine Corps. spoke, tearfully asking for prayers for all of the military who are deployed to protect our freedoms.

Let us all take the time each day to pray for our President as well as all of the men and women who are making great sacrifices to ensure that we are free to live in this great country of ours. We ask for the safety and protection of all of our troops. We ask our dear Father to grant comfort to the families and also that no one take our wonderful freedoms for granted. We ask our dear Father to give us the wisdom to thank our military members and to elevate them in daily prayer.

We ask this in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, Amen

Our Heroes

From Albany to Richmond
San Antone up to St. Cloud
Our best young men and women
Are poised to make us proud

All volunteers
No one made them come
They're the army of the willing
Unlike the peacenik scum

Remember 9-11!
That is their battle cry
As they crush our mortal foes
On the land and in the sky

In this generation
Many heroes will arise
Some will simply do their part
And some will even die

But when the battle's through
By the dawn's early light
Old Glory will still be flying
Having made it through the fight

Great pictures!
Milledgeville is a very historic town. It was the first capitol of Georgia, has lots of Confederate monuments.

I wish we'd had more time to spend there. We ate lunch at a great Italian restaurant, but had to hit the road for the two-hour drive back (and up until this morning I was thinking it was a little over an hour away....DUH!!)
