Hi,
I was one of the gals that started the parade at the plaza. Here is a link to my pics. I was standing towards the center of the plaza with a good view of the stage at most times.

I saw the signs about the FReepers and the Free Republic and was curious; so I found your website. Let me just say: Way To Go!!!
Saturday just meant so much to me. I wanted a public show of support for our troops, and we definitely got it! I wrote to all the networks hoping they would broadcast it (as I'm sure many of you did)
I can't believe SJL showed up! You have to admit, she's got nerve......course she likes to be on camera.
My dad is a Vietnam Vet. He worked in the engine room on the USS America. I wanted him to come with us yesterday, but he was afraid he would get in a confrontation with some anti-war moron. I think it would have done his heart good to see it. He is the one responsible for the great love of Country that I have.
God bless you men and women who have served and protected our freedom. Without you, we wouldn't be able to have the freedom of speech that we have today.
WHOOP!

Welcome, proud2bfree! And I loved the pictures!

Our "thread" is almost completed, so I don't know who else will see your post, but trust me - we all hang out here for the latest news and information.

Did you know FR was THE place where the shuttle break-up was reported first in the nation? Yep! The Wall Street Journal even printed that fact. FReepers are all over the world and we are all major news junkies so we're never far from our computers.

Anyway, stay in touch! Hang out here awhile and if you have any questions, just punch that "Private Reply" button below my name. That'll take you to a super secret location where you can communicate with the person's name above Private Reply. We all try to be helpful to what we call, "Newbies" LOL!

Glad to have you with us, and hope you come to play more often.
