Albion, great account. Love the "real man" story.
We had 20 FReepers and lurkers at WR per named names in my report. I posted photos of everyone except myself and the two daughters.
I try to include everyone in at least one photo that is posted,(other than FReepers who ask not to be photographed and FReeper's children unless they & parents authorize. I probably only post about 1/4 of the photos that I take.
I inadvertantly neglected to post a photo of lurker Joan at WR, but did post a photo including her at the Recruiting Center FReep. And she did attend the second FReep.
Albion, re: #102, were you the one who said that the leftist's pastries were "French pastries?"
Sorry I underestimated the turnout -- glad to hear we were 21 strong. So, next week let's make it 30, and then we can truly overwhelm the 3 corners! The intersection is very, very large, so we can easily accommodate more FReepers. Don't forget the positive value of just letting the soldiers know we care and are so grateful for their service. It almost doesn't matter that the black hole Code Pink is there, with their backs to Walter Reed, while we are facing the cars coming and going from the gate.

I'll cop to being the one who told him he had B. O. and to use deodorant before coming onto "our" side of the street again. True story.
