We are taking a little break from making our flag (colored/markered) & sign to bring along. The red marker needed a break! LOL! I hope word of these rallies get to the troops!!

That's great, ennazus. Where is the rally? The only one that I have seen is the one in Bangor,by the mall. I always toot and give them a big thumbs up when I go by.
Do you remember during the the first Gulf war and alot of the millitary stopped at Bangor Airport on their way home? I hope that happens again and we can welcome them home.

We went to the Augusta rally in front of the Army Reserve. We got lots of honks!! Even some fire trucks, police & tractor trailer trucks honked. I was surprised at how many people there were. I'd say there was probably only 75.
But I was talking with a Vietnam veteran and he was pleased with the turnout (stating that he wished he had had that support).

It was extremely windy and the sand from the street was blowing all over the place!! I thought it was rather fitting considering where our troops are.

Someone who was active with a POW/MIA group had patriotic music playing from his vehicle.

I notice a couple of you on this thread are from Maine. Here's a website if you are interested in attending a rally. They give upcoming dates, times & locations

Since it was near the reserve, I saw a reservist as I was walking from my car and he thanked US for our support! I was so shocked I didn't thank HIM! duh! LOL

That is so great! I'm glad you and your son were able to be there.
