I'm not real good at judging the numbers but I would say around 800 to maybe 1000 showed up today at a Support the troops Rally in Alvin, Tx.. I wonder how many small towns like this were having Rally's for the troops that don't make the national news. I like to stress there are more of us than there are of the anti war protestors.

Was happy to see anymouse there. He was taking a lot of pictures and told me he would post them when I made a thread.. I took a couple pictures I sent to Flyer. The Rally was organized in haste with only a few days to set things up but the organizers thought it went well. They had lots of music and sing alongs etc. I would have liked to have heard more speakers, but no one asked me.. Maybe next time we can get a little more organized. It was quite nice considering.

I'll ping anymouse and Flyer so they can post the pictures.. Couldn't have asked for better weather..

Is that you with the Sheltie?

No, I just couldn't resist the picture. She is a lady from our church.

Way to go ALVIN!

Having grown up there and graduated from AHS '77, I am proud of ya'll. Been gone for a while though, so I couldn't spot anyone I knew. What park was it held at?

Oak Park, right next to Union Planter Bank. Use to be Alvin State bank..

Great work! For a sec there, I thought these pics were from the Fresno July 4 picnic last year...they look very similar...heheh.

Houston area ping. The chapter banner wasn't there because we had another group in Austin today for their rally. If baseball teams can have "Split Squads", then Freeper Chapters can too.

Looks like you all had a great time! What a beautiful day, huh? We just got in from the Austin rally a little over an hour ago and I'll try to get some pics posted tomorrow on the relevant thread.

Nice to see we Houston Freepers can spread ourselves aaround the state like this!
