I have just heard that the Manchester Veterans of Foreign Wars is going tohold a rally to support the troops.
I will post more as known, havent got a final date or time or location yet, but will post a new thread when information becomes necessary.
As a Former Marine, I remember quite well how good it felt to hear of people supportingus while off Iran in 1980. Let's do this not just to support our President, but to let our men and woen in uniform know we DO care!!

Really? I heard it on Brad Davis this mornig, someone called in right after I did and he announced it. I guess we might have to do it on our own! :)
To: RaceBannon
Manchester, CT? Wow. Keep us posted, please Race. In the meantime, I'll ping the CT FReepers...

Just got off the phone, seems that radio talk show ost was wrong, there are no active plans for a rally...until we called!!
So, me and the commander are going to work on it! I am waiting for his call.
I think the March 1 date shold be a national many-rally day, rallies all over to support. Let's make the news pay attention to us.
To: nutmeg; RaceBannon
CT Bump-diggity...keep me posted as to where and when
To: RaceBannon
Swing by Operation Infinite FReep and post your announcement when you have details. Also check out what the Colorado chapter has been doing with the VFW. Our local VFW has had a Support Our TRoops rally every Saturday for the last 15 months!! It is a pleasure to FReep with them.
All the Best!

RB: Got drill this weekend at Camp Rowland. Otherwise available! If you go & I can't, please remember my oldest daughter HEATHER, (1145th Trans Co -- prob. Kuwait-bound), my son CLAYTON, pulled from Wm&Mary College (2/116th Inf) to go to Guantanamo, and my youngest daughter ALEXIS, (C Co, 201st FSB, 1st Inf Div -- prob Turkey-bound.) Remember: the Lankfords aren't in the Army, the Lankfords ARE an Army! Hooooo-AH!

This is GREAT! I am tied up for Saturday but I will come if it is on Sunday (after church of course) I suggest some of the signs people used in San Francisco at the anti-Bush rally last weekend (which you can see at
http://rushlimbaugh.com.)
Communism has only killed 100 Million people. Let's give it another chance.
Except for ending Slavery, Nazism, Communism and Fascism, War has never solved anything.
Saddam has only killed his own people, it's none of our business.

Man, I used to live in Rocky Hill CT, 15 minutes from Manchester!!!!. Why is it all the good stuff happens when I leave and where I end up there's never anything going on????
To: RaceBannon
I live next to Manchester. Let me know if I can help.
Actually, I'm bringing my 2 year old to a doctor in Manchester in an hour. I'll be three blocks away from the VFW. I'd be more than happy to stop in for anything.
