UPDATE NUMBER EIGHT:
1:00 PM Texas Time
CntTxan indicates over 100 people now there and growing. They are about to start up. Apparently the media is there.
They have some shade and a cool breeze...not too hot at the moment.
Let's make sure we give these guys our full support. I will be making updates every half hour unless they call into me with something in between. He is going to try and find someone with a camera cell phone who can email me pictures directly from the sitre if possib;e. Otherwise we will have to depend on media pictures or wait until some of these guys get hom tonight.
God bless these guys for their support of our troops today. CntTxan has 12 of 13 people there with him who all have served, many of them in Iraq.
Next update at 1:30 PM
We're about 40 minutes away--would it still be worthwhile to head down there? Are they still near the civic center?
Texas BTTT !
You know as well as I that the legacy media will avoid pictures of us like the plague.
In the fwiw department, I'm enjoying the updates.

Still smarting a little because we weren't able to make it down to Crawford today, my hubby & I just delivered party platters of Texas Wings and Quesadillas to the soldiers at our local recruiting office!! We printed out what pics we could find of the folks in Crawford and taped them to the lids on the party platters!
The guys were genuinely moved to see the rally pics ~ they didn't know the rally was taking place and said "it's been a little ruff" for them lately and this rally was really appreciated! I promised to bring more pics by when I had 'em.....so I am looking for any and all pics to share with the soldiers up here!
If ya can, I'd sure appreciate it if someone could please ping me when some finally start coming online...okay!
