-- Week 139 of Celebrating Our Wounded Warrior Heroes Washington, DC, December 14th, 2007-- While [Mrs] T was preparing for the D.C. Chapter Christmas Party (thread is forth coming if not already up) I [Mr T] arrived at WR and began setting up a banner around 6:30. By 7, we already had 3 FReepers there. It was starting to look like a good night. MOAB Jr. with Cindy-True-Supporter and Fraxinus The wind had picked up so a decision was made to not put up the MOAB. Instead, MOAB Jr. was put up. Jr is our all weather banner. It...

Walter Reed FReep #108 - A Really Noisy Night!Washington, DC, May 11, 2007 -- Honks, honks, and more honks! Even a pedestrian walking by said "If I had a car I'd be honking." It's an amazing thing to see (hear) so much support for a patriotic display in such a liberal town! I don't think it was just the excellent weather but a very real appreciation for the men and women living and working inside Walter Reed. Here are a few images from the celebration (the whole collection can be viewed here.) Craig from DC* and BillF Tom the...

<p>Washington, DC, April 27, 2007-- It was a small crowd tonight despite the wonderful weather. The weather readers predicted thundershowers which precluded putting up the MOAB (Mother Of All Banners), but the rain stayed away until after we had put away the banners and flags and called it a night. Tonight's list of FReepers & FRiends in attendance (If I missed anyone - please let me know!): BillF, Bill from MD*, Cindy-True-Supporter, Fraxinus, Jimmy Valentine's Brother, Kristinn, Laura Bush, PleaDeal, PrezUSA222, R.T. Delta, tgslTakoma, TJ from GoE, Tolerance Sucks Rocks, and VAFlagWaver.</p>

-- Walter Reed FReep Week #101 With No Let Up In Sight!Washington, DC, March 23, 2007-- A very happy crowd gathered tonight to celebrate our heroes and continue our opposition to the Hate America First crowd waaaaaay down the block. Code Pink showed up in larger than usual numbers (13) most likely due to their humiliation at the hands of the patriots who joined the Gathering Of Eagles last weekend on the Mall. We had 25 patriots that filled all 4 corners at the gate quite nicely!First, an update from the Gathering of Eagles. FReeper TFroatz had not one,...

Moonbats Get Stuck in Mud, Fail to Show for Protest!At least that's one excuse. We don't really know what happened, but the anarchists and spoiled brats from the Encampment to Stop the War steered clear of Walter Reed today. We declared Victory! around 5pm and packed up our flags and signs... then it started to rain ... and the "Encampment" inhabitants most certainly were not happy campers. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Actually, these cheapskates were trying to get in out of the rain by getting arrested rather than pay for a hotel room. *sigh* Cindy-True-Supporter and Mike Sparling made several reconnaissance missions around...

Walter Reed FReep Week 97 -- Almost Missed the Bus!Washington, DC, February 23, 2007 -- Comrade Bruce doesn't like being left out of the spotlight. Poor guy, saw a camera truck and went nuts! Around 7pm, a NBC crew was finishing up a story about Building 18 (the Barracks) on Georgia Avenue. TFroatz was standing by and asked the on-air talent "What's up?" They exchanged a few words, shook hands and parted ways. Bruce was across the street at the designated anti-America "vigil" station watching the brief scene play out. When the NBC guys headed back to their truck,...

On the Eve of "anti"-War at Walter Reed -- Week 93Washington, DC, January 26, 2007-- Old Man Winter seems to have finally arrived in the Nation's Capital. It didn't get nearly as cold or windy as the pessimistic forecasters predicted, but is was no day at the beach.Not a whole lot happened this Friday. We had FReepers from out of town who came to counter-protest the big United for Peace and Justice (and the Communist Way!) happening on the Mall on Saturday. The whole list of FReepers & FRiends in attendance last friday (If I missed anyone - please...

One Whole Year of 4-Corner FReeping at Walter Reed -- Week 92Washington, DC, January 19, 2007-- My, how time flies! It hardly seems a year ago (Jan 20, 2006) that FReeper concretebob handed Code Pink its walking papers by scarfing up the permits that the commies forgot to renew. One year ago, armymarinemom posted the following: just received a phone call from Kristinn!! The DC Chapter of Protest Warriors obtained a permit for Code Pink's side of the street today after the Pinko's forgot to renew their permit. The blood dancers tried to stick it out for about 20-25 minutes...

BETTER LUCK NEXT TYRANT: Facing Off Saddam Fan Club at Walter Reed While Awaiting Execution -- Week 89Washington, DC, December 29, 2006-- Usually we don't bother any more with the anti-American prophets of Doom down the street from the gates of Walter Reed Army Medical Center. Since we chased them off the gates, we focus on cheering the troops and ignore them unless they challenge us. But this night, carrying Kristinn's "Good Riddance Saddam" sign, several FReepers ventured down the street, frankly, to share our relief that a murdering despot was on the way out, within hours. President GW (aka...

#84 at Walter Reed - November 24, 2006  Doctor Raoul with a sign that says what we all feel. The day after Thanksgiving was a quiet one in D.C. with many of the wounded warriors on leave to be with their loved ones for the holiday. Our numbers were still sufficient to cover all 4 corners at the main gate and to continue giving thanks to those who keep us safe and secure in the best country on the planet. As usual, more FReepers & FRiends showed up (19) than pathetic Pinko turkeys (11). The whole list of FReepers &...

#81 at Walter Reed - November 3, 2006 Dang, it was cold! Lovely skyline pic by Trooprally [Mrs]Yes, it was a dry, very cold night on Georgia Ave. Unbeknownst to us, our fearless (literally!) D.C. Chapter leader Kristinn was winging his way to Iraq! No foolin', Iraq! Read his reports #1 and #2. This was a trip sponsored by our good friend Melanie Morgan of Move America Forward and included Gold Star parents who wanted to meet with the brothers and sisters with whom their own children fought and died. The parents wanted to see for themselves what it was...

#80 at Walter Reed - October 27, 2006 Neither rain nor snow nor dark of night Can keep the FReepers from their fight... Yes, it was a rainy night on Georgia Ave. but more FReepers & FRiends showed up (18) than pathetic Pinkos (8). We may have had even more than 18, but even if I had remembered to bring my notebook, it was raining too much to write anything down. BillF provided valuable backup to my recollection of the people who braved the elements to come out and thank our wounded warriors and their families. If I missed anyone...

#77 at Walter Reed - October 6, 2006 Last week, bmwcyle stated "It never rains on the DC Chapter" and sure enough his prediction came true! Despite dire predictions from the weather readers of high wind and rain, we stayed dry and delivered our message of thanks to the Wounded Warriors and their families and caregivers. Trooprally [Mr.] wrote nearly all the text content this week (ThanksTR!); I just added pics. Squeegee was predictably obnoxious. He asked "How's Tom Foley tonight?", "How is Speaker Hastert?", "I hear your leaders killed a lot of our soldiers this week." What a maroon....

#76-Fall Arrives at Walter Reed - September 29 We gathered once again on the sidewalks in front of Walter Reed to deliver our message of thanks to the Wounded Warriors and their families and caregivers, and to counter-protest the Code Pink commies who continue to haunt and taunt our service members. It was a great night with another large crowd of FReepers and FRiends and a small crowd of pitiful Pinkos. Setup - Trooprally, TBP, BufordP, Olgaesq01, and tgslTakoma. Kristinn hams it up. Trooprally [Mrs] catches the setup of the Mother Of All Banners (MOAB). She then captures Bill from...

#74-Pinkos SMASHed at Walter Reed - September 15The Army (BlackFive), Navy (Citizen SMASH), Air Force (Tantor) and Marines (Major Pain) converged on the sidewalks in front of Walter Reed to deliver a stinging message to the Code Pink commies. Double Trouble - Citizen SMASH and Maj Pain survey the battleground. Citizen SMASH came to Washington on official gummint business but he did not leave his passion for pestering Pinkos in San Diego. Week after week he’s joined the FReepers at Walter Reed celebrating and thanking our wounded heroes. He’s also been winning “hearts and minds” among the commies waaaaay down...

Walter Reed FReep #70 - Pinkos Crushed Again!Another spectacular night out front of Walter Reed Army Medical Center celebrating our Troops! Attendance was again extremely high this week (42!), but it can always be better! The following FReepers and FRiends* came out to celebrate tonight:3D-Joy, Ainsley, her mother, Mirian, her daughter, Madison, all * from MD, Apple Blossom, AprilfromTexas, Bill * from MD, Barbara* from VA, BillF, bmwcyle, Britney * from DC, BufordP, Cindy_true_supporter, Chris* from MD, Citizen SMASH, Cordella * from DC, Danang68, Danielle* from MO, dellbabe68, Fraxinus, Gavin * from MD, George* & Ethel* from MD, Gretchen15, InGodwetrust1,...

Tonight we crushed the Pinkos in numbers: 38 to 7 1/2!Other than that, nothing really happened. (Somebody please step in and refute that statement!)The weather was phenomenal for D.C. in August (low 80's with low humidity!) which probably helped to bring out extra FReepers. We couldn't quite understand what kept the commie Pinkos away...Attendance was extremely high this week, but it can always be better! The following FReepers and FRiends came out to celebrate tonight:Just A Nobody, 2ndClassCitizen, 3D-Joy, Just A Nobody, Albion Wilde, Bill * from MD, BillF, Blueblade (also a member of Protest Warriors), BufordP, Just A Nobody,...

This week's report is (almost) entirely stolen from a wounded warrior in residence at Walter Reed (Elijah), and from a Veteran on temporary assignment here in D.C. (Citizen SMASH). I just felt was waaaaaay better than winging it as usual. Enjoy! Ashley and Megan finding their favorite signs. Friday with FreeRepublicBy Sgt. Elijah Allen, Contact Right...Taking Fire!In a war where most people have decided not to choose sides openly (ie. We Support the Troops, but We don't support the war.) it does me well to see people come out with a pair of brass balls. People choose to only to...

Diane Irey Joins FReepers at Walter Reed - July 28Yes, we were graced by the presence of Rep. John Murtha's (D-Pa) worst nightmare! Diane Irey will unseat the treasonous EX-Marine this November! Almost everyone is in the picture! Diana Irey allowed herself to be corralled into a group photo before being whisked away by her manager(?). She talked with a lot of folks and, according to SMASH, she even spoke with the stinky Pinkos! Being a pretty rotten reporter, I have no idea what she said to anyone. Please - help me out people! Put your conversations with this nice...

FReep #64: Pinkos Show How They "Support" the Troops In FREEPERS: The ANTS at SHEEHAN'S "I'LL STARVE TOMORROW" PICNIC at the White House 7/03/06, the "AAR Champion Writer" Albion Wilde described the Sheenanigans of Code Pinko's Last Supper-and-mediawhore-fest. It appears that going without solid food for as much as *gasp!* 24 whole hours!?! put the leftists in a really bad mood. Sheehan already swiped the "Starving for Attention" slogan from the FReep banner, so perhaps Medea and Gael were looking for more ideas to steal and turn into commie propaganda when they strolled up the block and attempted to "reach...
