He sports the Che Guevara look...
**** Oh my gosh! You really are something special to do all of this for me! I hope you know how much I sincerely appreciate your kindness! ****
3D-JOY is very special. Ten years ago, the remains of a cousin whose plane was shot down on “Black Sunday” in WW2 were found near Papua, New Guinea. They were returned to the US, and buried at Arlington. I could not visit, or leave flowers, or a wreath, but dearest 3D-Joy did so for me.
On behalf of the family of SSgt Elgin Luckenbach, and for myself, I will always remember her kindness. She will probably blush, but she is special.
I think thats an astute observation.
or the Mad-Moe
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
Very good night for Donald..Loud crowd and he was so funny!
I am so glad I saw this rally live and got home in time.
Loved it!
Thanks so much,going to read it.
Great Speech, Great Rally!!! Go Donald J. Trump!!! Ted Cruz having a tough time getting folks to attend his rallies. Cruz barely can muster a few hundred people to his campaign appearances. I guess he should have Glenn Beck appear with him, hoping to get more folks to attend. Oops......Glenn Beck, the nutcase that he is, will only cause less folks to attend the failed Ted Cruz rallies. GO DONALD J, TRUMP!!!
We really do treat each other as members of the family of God!
So many “GOOD” people on this thread. Makes me sick to see what the political operatives do every election cycle. At least this one we have TF
good night all.. fun sharing some time with THE DONALD and all of you
Lord willing, see you all tomorrow
We are glad you were here too. It’s much nicer with all of us together.
Agreed!!!
holy cow!!!!
