Attention all Pennsylvania Freepers-Our Troops Need Us!
NikkiUSA ^ | 7/22/03 | NikkiUSA

Posted on 07/22/2003 5:55:11 PM PDT by NikkiUSA

This is Nikki!!! Some of you know that I am only 15 (just turned 15), but for 5 years now I have been doing everything that I can to support our Troops, our Veterans and our POW/MIA's and right now I am really worried about our troops. I am seriously thinking about organizing a Pennsylvania STATE WIDE "Support Our Troops Rally" because I really think that our troops need us now more than ever!! I want this to take place in several (or as many) cities as possible with the one here in the "Burgh" being at Point State Park!! I know this won't be easy, but I know that we can do it because Pennsylvania cares!! I think it needs to be done and I think that it is the right time to do a Rally like this. But, I also know that I will need a lot of help, a lot of media, a lot of PR people and a lot of people to SHOW UP. Any takers??? I have 1000 ideas, but would really like your thoughts and help too!! I'm not going to make this post too long, cause we can save that for later when there are more details. I just wanted to throw the idea out and see what happens and I'm really hoping that hundreds of posts to this message happen (hint, hint!!!) This should be done ASAP, well, at least I think so!!! Please let me know what you think or if you can help in any way...our troops still need us and we must be there for them!!! Hope to hear from you!!!

Nikki, I'm a former Pennsylvanian from Northampton County.

Can't get away from duty in Kentucky, but consider this a big ol' Keystone bump.

Thanks, Sweetie, and Happy Birthday.

Call the VFW an Legion in your area. Call the paper and many of your chums. You sound like you can get it done.

Thanks so much for your reply!! Believe me, I will be calling and sending email to every one that I know, including all of the politicians that I know from Pennsylvania too(they love me) LOL!!!
I just really believe that our troops need us and even though a lot of people didn't or don't support this war, I know that Saddam Hussein and his people won't be in power to harm my generation!!!!! I care about our troops and I want to do everything that I can to let them know!!!!

Big bump from Florida, for Nikki! Thanks for supporting the troops.

Here's an awesome letter for sharing with friends and neighbors who get their news from - well, the news! Our troops are doing great work and Americans need to hear the truth.

It Ain't Necessarily So. [Army Spec Ops letter from Iraq - a must read!]

Thanks for the ping, Tonkin.

Thank you, Nikki, for all you do for our veterans and our troops!

I wish I had some suggestions to help but any I had have already been brought up on the thread. Go-getter that you are, this should be a smashing success! You're an amazing young lady and an inspiration to all.
