Hi everybody. I left school early today cause my brain broke. So I came home and opened all the windows (It was a nice day out) and just started drawing, passing the time. I started to notice that outside there was a lot of honking going on. It went on and on and on and every 30 seconds or so a different car passing by the street was honking it's horn. I grabbed my camera and went across the street. There were two people in front of the local VFW with an american flag and a Support our Troops sign! I talked to 'em and they said they were Mr. and Mrs. Barnes, and they would come otu from time to time to support the troops! The sound of the honking cars and smiles and waves was music to my ears. I live just a couple of blocks (Literally) from major corps like Nintendo of America, Microsoft, etc... If ya haven't guessed by now I live on the Bellevue, Redmond border in Washington State! Anyways, I asked them if they heard of the FreeRepublic before and they said no. So I told them to show up and join the forums and I took their pics... here they are!

The Democrats are having a difficult time right now, trying to convince people that they "support the troops" while
stabbing the Commander in Chief in the back. This is the time we should be organizing huge "Support the Troops" rallies across the nation.....and emphasizing support for their "Commander-in-Chief".
God bless President Bush!!! The whole world needs to see and hear us shout our support!

Every FReeper in the area should go out and join Mr. & Mrs. Barnes....
It brakes my heart to see that only two people can find the time to show thier support...
We need to get out there and let our voices be heard, since the media is making it look like the Left is the only voice we have here in America...
I know it is not always easy to find the time, I just mean as much as possible...I try and do my part when ever I can I'm always looking for rallies to lend my voice to.
