No, THANK YOU. It was our pleasure to come out and join you all. It was great. The highlight of my trip was coming to Walter Reed.

My name got changed to SJ not SK? *sniff*

Stacy really did pick the best sign

And GN, the pleasure was all ours, truly. It has been one of my greatest wishes to join you some Fri night, so it was actually a dream come true. You deserve major kudos for all that you have done and continue to do. It is humbling to the rest of us. As for the modest supporter, (I'm not trying to pronounce it) she is incredible and soooo nice. It was a pleasure to meet and visit with her, I look forward to seeing her again. Already there is some talk of next year. After I get some sleep maybe....

Darnit, SK!! I can't believe i mistyped your initials. *blush* I'll blame it on lack-o-sleep.

Stacy - You guys were so much fun. I'm really glad you came and found it as fulfilling as the rest of us do.

jim b - that sounds like a TX song, or sumthin? Yes, there were many luminaries!

and SK, I can't wait for next year!!! Let plan it in your neck o' the woods. It will be drier, at least

Hey! If you can talk them into it, you have a room already! I told some others they could bring air mattresses and we'll just stack everybody up

I don't know how ya do it girl?! Thanks for the post. Work does get in the way sometimes, don't it? One night when working late, a wise man..ok, accountant, said to me in response to my..sigh "Ain't this fun"...He said these famous words..."Donna, if work was meant to be fun..it would be the same word!"

Never forgot that gem. Have fun!

Thank you so much for letting us join you! I could have gone home after Fran O'Brien's that night and been the happiest girl on earth. Like SK, this was the thing I was looking forward to the most. You guys are awesome for keeping up the pressure on Code Pink and for letting our men and women know that they are NOT forgotten and there is a grateful nation waiting for them to heal and come out of WR. You ROCK!!

This was one of the hightlights of my trip and something I had dreamed about doing for a long time. I still can't believe I was actually THERE!!

You FReepers are heroes too because you've made a difference. Not too many people can say that. What you've created over the last year (almost a year now, isn't it?) has not only made a difference, it's meant a lot to our Soldiers and their families.

Thanks for having us and for all you do.

And thanks again to AlbionWilde for the lift to Fran's and JoyJoyinNJ for taking me to buy umbrellas

What Pinkos? I didn't even noticed them.
GN - gosh, and I didn't even drink that night Thank you for being there for all of us.
I wish there was more time to just hang out. If anybody comes to Denver - give me a call.
LL and SK - it was great meeting you! Stay in touch please.

Yep, it was a great time... those pinko's were long and far away from us fortunately.

I sure appreciate everyone that can spend some more time there; my few hours on that one night were nothing at all though I sure enjoyed it.

Hey guys, you are so awesome for coming out and supporting our wounded warriors with us FReepers. You made a huge impression and a big difference on a miserable night. Wouldn't cha know - tonight was clear, bright, and low 50's. *sigh* I wish you could have been here this week instead

GN I have been visiting your blog for a few months now and I just want to tell you how much I admire you and your friends who do so much to support the troops at WRAMC. Wish I could be there to help. You guys are really special and you are supporting people who are super special.

Carole - Thanks for visiting! You're right on about the Super Special people we all love and support. We can never do enough to thank them.
