[tgslTakoma]

I am heading down to the Rally site now, to help with setting up - which began at 5am today. I didn't know if someone would post a live thread later. My apologies if I have stepped on any toes.

EAGLES UP !!

Rally to Honor Military Families

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

The Gold Star Dad speaking now (in tears)

Me too.....tears all over the place today. Son's comment "Nothing had been done" From the mouths of angels

[Fudd Fan]

Now that I see his cap closer, he must have been on one of the later LaSalles. My f-i-l's ship was U.S.S. LaSalle AP-102.

If we wont stand up for our country than who will?

[TaxRelief]

Where did they say they lost their son? Did he say on 9/11?

[Peach]

This is why I could never go to those rallies. I'm sobbing.

[Hoodlum91]

Yes. He was lost at the Pentagon, body never recovered.

[kempster]

In the Pentagon on 9-11

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

9/11 at the Pentagon

[tiredoflaundry]

Yes at the Pentagon.

[MinuteGal]

This is harder to get through than yesterday's insanity.

However, since we can't be there, we must keep listening to stand by these sorrowing family and to be in support of our compatriots and fellow Freepers who are there in person.

[Miss Marple]

Yes. He also said that twice he has posted this (I assume to one of the Sheehan sites) and they have twice taken it off and modified it to suit their own ends.

9/11 at the pentagon

[Txsleuth]

Yes, 9/11 at Pentagon, his body was never found.

[Reagan Man]

PROUD AMERICANS!

[Peach]

His identical twin (?) went to Afghanistan five times, Iraq twice. Bob would have said the family has to get over their pain because this country is worth defending.

If you were to poll these troops, 95% of them would say stay in Iraq, stay the mission.

A lot of these people want to eat in the garden, but they don't want to tend the garden.

They want to live here, but they don't want to defend where they live.

[blu]

we must keep listening

We must bear witness. Now, pass the Kleenex, please.

[mylife]

The left "wants to eat in the garden but doesnt want to tend the garden"

Amen

[Miss Marple]

" A lot of people want to eat from the garden, but they don't want to tend the garden."

A very good statement by this gentleman who lost his identical twin brother.

[maggief]

Imagine that ... deleted his letter twice, and modified it to suit their agenda. B@st@rds!

[the Deejay]

9/11 at the Pentagon

Same flight Barbara Olsen was on I believe.
