I don't know when the next one will be. The Eagle 93.9 radio station is about the only media outlet that keeps up and announces pro-America items. Their station listener group has exploded since they sponsored the first rally. This rally was sponsored by a branch of the VFW, the Navy League, the Marine League, and women's auxiliaries, and couple more I can't think of right now.

So, put your radio dial on 93.9 and visit their web site. I met "Jason" yesterday, and he is just as approachable in real life as he seems on the air. A real sweetie.

I sure hope this link works...it goes to a flash movie about the protests and counter protests in our town. It offered a fairly balanced look, thru the Missourian newspaper (surprise) of the opposing views. Click on one picture for the peaceniks, click on the other for Support Our Troops view.

What a great day and what a great Pro-America rally!

It was wonderful to see so many patriotic Americans gathered in support of our troops, our president, and FREEDOM. The music and speeches were wonderful.

We have a new digital camera, and I took what I thought was about 30 pics. Unfortunately, the disc held only 11. Oops. We have copied them onto our computer. If/when my son can teach me how to post them, I will. (I did get a picture of the blue-star lady, but the side of her poster with only her husband on it. Will post if possible.)

Also, I had many people ask about the "We support our troops" signs. We will call the printer on Monday and inquire about ordering many more.

Thank you, everyone, for your participation. It was fantastic. When do we do it again?!

My son just told me that we need to "host" the pictures on a website, and we don't have one--yet. I guess this will take a while, so check back tomorrow!

The Tribune upped the estimate of how many people were at the Rally. There is a wonderful interview there with Tracy Della Vecchia, creator of the MarineMoms.us website. Check it out! It will not link to the story, so try the main page of the Trib.

FABULOUS report, blue!! Sounds like the rally was a great event.

So the peaceniks aren't too happy that Missouri Supports Our Troops, eh? WAAAAAAAA! They might as well get used to it....the majority of Americans support our troops and support the war on Iraq. The numbers have climbed since the war began a few days ago.

It's great to see so many people across the country getting out to do what y'all have been doing for quite some time now.....show our troops that they're behind them 100%!

I think I can speak for our whole group here...it was a very fulfilling experience. To see so many who felt the same as we do...a very different experience from our days at the post office, and the coverage of the peacenik events. It was not only healing, but exhilerating. I don't do much creative writing, but it was hard not to compare the Rally to the new season of Spring and all that comes with it.

I've only been to one rally so far, in Nashville a few weeks ago, and well know that feeling of being among a large crowd of folks who feel like we do. Absolutely exhiliarating!!

Our troops and veterans need to know their efforts are appreciated. All the rallies springing up around the country DO make a difference.

BTW, your writing is superb. I love reading your write-ups.

Great pics!! We loved the rally! Wife and I were there right behind the guy with the green "Thank You Troops" sign and the soldier being interviewed with our sign " We Support American Troops". Hope to make it to Columbia Sat barring fubars!!

Here are Prov's pics (see post #27) from the Jefferson City Rally. Sorry they took so long...technology is a wonderful thing, isn't it?! Click the pics to see the high resolution (1600 x 1200) images.

This is the blue-star lady with poster of her husband.

This is the crowd gathering about 11:30 am, prior to the start of the rally.

And this is Bogeyman (left) and Prov (right) posing with two friends. Prov's sign "We support our troops, President Bush, and FREEDOM."

Great job, Missourians! Isn't it great to see our numbers grow day by day? Our troops certainly need our support now more than ever before - especially with the news media magnifying every little piece of bad news these last few days. Again, great job!
