One proud mom from Denver whose son is in the service drove all the way from Denver to stand on the corner with us. She held a sign with a picture of her son on it. She found out about our rally by going to the 9 News link from the interview of Mike Pappas which took her to the Loveland web site for people supporting the troops and their families. From there she found out about us taking a stand on the corner.

We were joined once again by the Colorado Patriots Fife and Drum Corps who played brilliantly as ususal. Talking with Paul the piper afterwards, he informed us that the Marine Corps Hymn was originally composed to be played by bagpipes. It is probably why it sounds outstanding when the fife and drum corps play it.

As usual, the horn honking was extremely enthusiastic! It was interupted for a brief moment when someone was driving too close to someone else who decided at the last second to turn into the Dairy Queen. There was a rear end fender bender that resulted.
The Associated Veterans Club has been selling 'Support Out Troops' lawn signs and bumper stickers. This week they added t-shirts to the line of products. All proceeds from the sales of these products are going to be used to send Love packages to the troops from Loveland.
The new 'Support Our Troops' T-shirts have arrived.
Here are a few more pictures of the rally.
These two were taken by Deb from Greeley, gophardline's wife. The first is gophardline dodging traffic and the second is of a member of the support group whose sister is in Iraq.
