WOW!
Thanks for coming guys. And, LinnyBeth, I forget your screenname, but you are included. Sorry I am so behind on posting on this. Thanks for the pictures, thanks for the thanks, and especially thanks for coming.
I'm really rreally sorry that I couldn't spend more time with you guys there! But at the end, when all those people came up and thanked me, I was OVERWHELMED! I kept telling them, the majority were veterans, or parents of people in the military, "no no, thank YOU!"
I was just so surprised that anyone would thank me for that. It was my pleasure, and it really made my day/week/month/year. The people I wanted to do it for were there.
LBGA - I didn't know you had a son overseas. My prayers to him, and thank you for being so supportive. I see parents of our service people at anti-war rallies, and while I understand they are scared and want their children home, they need to step up and support the decision their children make. Thank you.
The people with their son and nephew on the poster, were they FReepers? If they were I apologize for not remembering. My head was swimming the whole time!
And once again, all I can say is wow! The most the peace march/rally had was 30 or so, so this turn out was GREAT!!!! I can't wait until this coming Saturday! And I promise, I will FReep with the FReepers all day long.
The son of Sheriff Sils, the next to the last speaker, stood in front of the smelly anti-Bush protestors with our sign that said "I support George W. Bush" and just planted himself in front of them.
Of the 200 flags we had to hand out, we only had 28 left!
Thanks guys, and I love the inspiration I get here oin Free Republic. It really makes it easy to do something when I feel so passionately about it.

Thanks again, and FReep-on!

See everyone on the 15th!

You really ROCK, girl! You did it and what a GREAT job you did!

We are so sorry for showing up late. I totally misjudged the distance from Norcross. And let me tell you, .45MAN FLEW!!!! 150 miles in two hours is *not* bad - LOL!!! I was only thinking it was around 60 miles from here....what a *dork!*

If you are interested in meeting after the Rally this Saturday at Jocks and Jills, please FReepmail RobFromGA to let him know the number in your party. He is making reservations for those who can make it.

Hope to see you! {{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}

You did such a FANTASTIC job of organizing this rally. We just wanted to show up to support you. :-)

Of course I am fearful for my son, but he is doing what he does because he believes in this country, as I do. I am so proud of him. If there are parents who would show up at an anti-war rally, I daresay they are putting their loved ones in more danger because it emboldens Saddam.

Maybe they are all just in it for the free education, but now that they may be called upon to use their training, they and their mommies and daddies think it's too much to ask.

Sheesh, now ask me what I really think about parents of someone who is deployed supporting the peace movement. ;-)
