Sorry I haven't been back in over a month- busy times lately, especially the last few days! I am the president of the Tarleton State University College Republicans (TX) and I helped coordinate a Troop Support Rally for this afternoon. Just got back and it went well! Even had the mayor (ret. Col.) and University president come speak, along with a couple ROTC reps. Taps and a 21 gun salute were performed as well. Turnout ~100 students, faculty, alumni and staff of the University.

Pics, you say? :) I've got the ugly mug on the last couple pages.

Warm regards and God Bless, -Chris Atkinson President - TSU College Republicans

It's Texas, what do you expect? Even UT-Austin, aka Berkely on the Colorado, had a pretty good turnout at their pro-troop rally.

WAY TO GO Chris, et al -- You've got them warmed up now. Do another one in a couple of weeks. Am always especially proud of university students who are brave enough to "go against the grain" of the usually liberal campus crowd. Keep up the good work -- patriotism is contagious!! The support you gave to our troops and their families is definitely worth all the work -- isn't it?

Way to Go TSU FReepers. Eagles up!

For those not familiar with this TSU, Tarleton State University is in Stephenville (Central West Texas).
