The Heart of Texas Chapter of FreeRepublic.com is holding a rally in Crawford, Texas today to show America's support for our troops, President Bush and the war on terrorists in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere around the world.
The rally will be held at noon at the Crawford Civic Center at 1000 4th Street.
Freepers are coming from near and far to join the H.O.T. Chapter in Crawford. If you live within four hours drive of Crawford, it's not too late to hit the road and get on down there.
Folks in attendance will be calling in to me, Brad's Gramma and Jeff Head with live updates from the scene. I am told that cellphone coverage in Crawford is spotty. However, it may have gotten better of late.
We'll see.
Hat's off to Basil, Doctor Raoul, The Sarce and 2ndAmendmentMama (and anyone else) who've been scrambling the past two days to make this happen. Good luck!
El Gato!!!!!
I just KNEW you would get there...I have been thinking about you all day....hoping that you would go and "represent"!!!
You are a very special person...Miss Victoria has a wonderful grandfather!
Good pictures, Valerie. Thank you for posting them.

Phantom, my thanks to your husband for his service to our great country and thank you for your sacrifices. God bless both of you.
He told her that he couldn't understand it and wanted to look at the pictures. He kept saying then "ok I understand it now" several times over.
I hope he did, understand why we're there. So many people don't.
Great pics, Valerie. Great to see you today.
You have mail...
The smiling LEO with the ball cap was the one who was joking with me before the crowd got larger.
He was a hoot!
Here You go. Great girls you have.
I'm ready - where are we going next? :o)
When we went out Prairie Chapel Road - my girls were so excited - kept talking about breathing President Bush's air. lol We came to a place where there were cars on either side and a bit of bottleneck. They had blocked off the road going further but when the very very nice LE asked me which side I was on and I told him - he directed us onto a man's property who had given permission for the "good guys" to park there. Lovely. Wish I could thank him. But then we would have had to walk a good ways but two Marines driving by gave us a lift right up to the "triangle".
We also drove by the "Peace House" and it was like an ant hill. They thought we wanted to park there til the girls waved their flags out the windows at them. lol
Thanks for the photos!
Even, though dial-up connection is WAY too slow.
Too true!
Do you know who these people are? or are you just taking random shots?
BTW, beautiful pictures as usual---you are a VIP of Freeperland...!!
Most FReepers had nametags on.
Be interesting to see if El Rusbo even gives this a mention on Monday. I'm laying 2:1 odds that he does NOT?
What does anyone else think?
