Am planning to be there! Badly made, homemade sign in hand for our heroes

[Dinah Lord]

No - it really isn't (central Jersey) and I have been breathlessly reading about you WR guys since getting my freep on ...I just have to get a hole in my schedule and I am coming down there. Somehow.
Cheers - Dinah

[Coop]

I'm sure you could find a rider or two. :-) Until then, thanks for the support.

[trooprally]

All signs & FReepers are welcome.

The weather is calling for fast dropping temperatures this afternoon into evening. So don't be fooled by this mornings 60s temps. Low 40s be this evening.

Bring some extra warm clothes in case you need to put them on.

Of course the smoking section of the "blue jeep of warmth" will be there.

Supportive bump! They're calling for the wind to pick up which will make the temps seem colder. Layer up!

More tidbits: A Japanese TV crew filmed all four corners of what our Enemedia tries desperately to ignore and hide. How pathetic is that? No wonder people go crazy beeping their horns when they see troop-loving patriots! America is starving to see their sons and daughters get the support and love they deserve. Lurking mediots, this is just one of the many reasons why you are sinking into the tar pits of history!

Bump

On Saturday morning the same crew was at the D.C. Chapter's CPAC table interviewing Kristinn and another, out-of-town FReeper.

It would be interesting to see what they put together.

Great report, great photos, great people!!!!

... yet poor response. [sigh]

In Tucson we're trying something new...invitation cards. Our leader had them printed on easy tear sheets. Why not make some up for Walter Reed and hand them out at places like that nearby subway station? Ours look like this:

[Coop]

Actually, I was referring to the poor response to this (and other) support-the-troops threads. You guys do good work out there. Keep it up!

[Diva Betsy Ross]

Thinking of Y~all.... BTTT.

[Coop]

I was a wimp and turned back because of bad traffic tonight. Hoping all is well and you're staying warm!

[Sisku Hanne]

It's about that time. Remotely cheering our busload of heroes as they return from a well-deserved night out.

[Albion Wilde]

Hey, JoyJoy,

It was great to meet you. What a shame that it was so darned cold. You are doubly heroic to have lasted all evening. Thank you so much for traveling so far to be there!

[Albion Wilde]

Hi, Coop,
We were wondering where you were, because you had said you would be coming. Thanks for checking in on the thread so we know you weren't in a car accident on the way over! It was darn cold tonight, and we needed all hands on deck because we had to take "sit in the car and warm up" breaks periodically. Hope you will be back soon.

That goes for you, too, bmwcyle, with your great photos, and Apple Blossom - Mrs. Congeniality!

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

Thanks for Standing the Watch!

(Includes everyone in DC who have been there.)

[3D-JOY]

Just woke up and realized I had missed checking on the Freep!

It reads like you were very chilly !

Glad to see you are home safely AW.

Did Landry Fan get well enough to attend?

[Albion Wilde]

Yes'm, she did. Lots of hugs all around.

[Albion Wilde]

And now, good night. Must stop drinking caffeinated coffee at FReeps! Must switch to our Halliburton hot chocolate instead!
