"...by then people were honking for our Troops, waving, and giving the thumbs up. The best part was to see them start to smile when they saw a sign of support and encouragement for our guys. One young man yelled, "I love you lady! I'm going to join you one day!" A business man walked over, opened his bag and gave me a flag (I had forgotten to bring one) and a man in the National Guard stopped to say hello. The honking on the Troops' corner nonplussed the protestors who tried yelling louder which only made them harder to understand and had me in stitches when the five of them tried a chant. A little elderly lady walked by a couple of times, said she agreed with my signs but thought I was outnumbered. I said, "No I'm not." and we both laughed. A lot of people walking by said thank you for being there. Several fire trucks went by and the firemen waved. Halfway through the FReep I remembered to start handing out yellow ribbons and next time will definitely bring a lot more. Heading back across the river, I prayed that somehow, someway our young Troops know and feel the love, pride and support Americans have for them."
Spread the word...America's WINNING!!
FReegards...MUD
One guy kept honking and waving the whole time the light was red. I don't know how the driver in front of him felt but it sure made me grin.
