Photos from Fresno Rally for America (3/22/03)
Fresno/Central Valley Chapter ^ | March 22, 2003 | Jim Robinson

Patriotism was hot and loud in Fresno tonight! For the second night in a row we had over a hundred patriots turn out to rally for our troops. Tonight we probably had closer to one hundred fifty, including over one hundred members from the Riverdale Assembly of God.

Plus, the church group brought their sound truck and played patriotic music loud enough to be heard on all four corners of the largest and busiest intersection in Fresno. And our people lined the curbs and presented their flags and signs from all four corners!

FReepers present:

Plus we were rejoined by several people who have rallied with us in the past. I don't know how many people were there in total, as people were parking their cars and coming and going all night long. There was a TV trucked parked across the street and they setup their cameras, but, unfortunately, they left before our sound truck and the hundred people from Riverdale arrived.

I think this was one of the best Support our Troops rallies we've had in Fresno. The patriotic music and the almost constant (and loud) honking of horns and the spirited cheers from the youth groups was fantastic! And there were many people in jeeps, pickups and cars who joined our rally by driving to and fro with horns blaring and large flags flowing in the breeze.

And not one anti-American in sight! God help me, I do love it so!

Thank you Riverdale! And thank you to all who participated!

Sorry we missed this one.....looks like it was another great rally. Tame, happy to see you were able to rally again with Fresno's Finest on Saturday.

Love those Riverdale Assembly of God kids.....what energy and passion they have!

We hope to be able to come up again next Friday. Now more than ever our military needs our support.

Thank God for every man and woman who is putting their life on the line to liberate the Iraqi people.

Yes, our troops need our support and our prayers now more than ever, especially with the battle for Bagdad about to begin. May God bless and protect our men in women engaged in this battle to end tyranny and terrorism.
