self | Feb. 9, 2003 | flagbrigade

Posted on 02/09/2003 9:52:31 PM PST by flagbrigade

The time has come to put words into action. STAND UP AND BE COUNTED. No more "silent majority" status for conservatives, let alone Freepers. BE PASSIONATE! PARTICIPATE in local rallies. CALL IN to local radio stations and mention our rallies and activism. There is no better time than NOW to start.

TAKE NOTICE: S.F. Bay Area Overpass Rally , Lafayette, CA.

WHERE: Hwy 24 @ 680. Exit Pleasant Hill Rd. off of Hwy 24. Take Old Tunnel Rd. to top of El Curtola Bridge.

WHEN: Tuesday, FEB. 11th from 3-6 p.m.

THEME: Support R Troops . In attendance will be representatives of the Blue Star Moms promoting Operation Postcard. Drop by and wave a flag and fill out a postcard to be sent overseas.

WHY: Let our troop family know we care. 4,000 cars a minute will witness 40+ flags spanning 450 feet of overpass. The honking never stops! Join us!

Lafayette Flag Brigade of Lafayette, CA.

Our website has many pictures including Sept. 11th 2002, the one year anniversary of 9-11. I'm not too adept at posting pictures, so I'll snag my son to help me post the next batch of pictures post 2-11.

Yes! Picture those animated flags and add about 35 more flapping in the breeze. It's does send "shivers up your spine" as one T.V. anchor said.

Failed to mention that we have made up postcards of the Troop Tribute showing all the flags on poles and lots of people waving flags that we title: Thanks! U.S. Armed Forces. On the back we describe who we are and what we do and we have people fill out these postcards while on the bridge amidst all the clamour of blaring horns! We also have a picture of that on our website, @ nevereverforget911.com

What a GREAT idea!
Check out THIS wonderful image from www.nevereverforget911.com/bluestarmoms:

Lafayette Flag Brigade - Blue Star Moms
"NEVEREVERFORGET911.COM"




The Blue Star Moms is a support group in the Tri-Valley area
(Contra Costa and Alameda Counties, California)
of mostly women who have come together to share worries, pride, and devotion to sons, daughters and husbands
who are serving in the United States Armed Forces.

Representatives of Blue Star Moms are present
along with the Lafayette Flag Brigade on the 11th of each month to participate in the flag display, and to promote "Operation Postcard", which sends cards of encouragement to US services personnel around the world.

Why not join us on the 11th to wave a flag and send a postcard.

Thanks RonDog for taking the time to post that image. The picture for that postcard was taken on March 11th. 2002, the 6 month anniversary of 9-11. There was so much car and truck honking my ears were ringing afterwards.
