Thanks to all the good folks who took time out on a cold and snowy day to come to our Pro-Troop rally. We know our troops and their families appreciate our public show of support.

(Special thanks to John and Sean for taking these pictures)

Frigide temperatures didn’t prevent a large turnout of patriotic Americans at the weekly Pro-Troop rally in West Chester, PA. We were honored to have Dom Giordano of the WPHT 1210AM “The New Talk Radio” come out to cover the sights and sounds of both sides.

Dom poses with seven Blue Star Moms (mothers with children in the military) and some students from West Chester University’s College Republicans.

(have lots of great pictures – will add more later)

We were honored to have Mike stop by to say hello. Mike graduated from West Chester Henderson High School in 2004 and went right into the Navy. He said, “I wanted to defend our country after 9/11.” He’s home on leave from his training command in San Diego. He’s been in for 6 years. Thanks Mike, we appreciate your service so much.

Gene held the flag for us as we sang the National Anthem. His nephew in an Army Ranger, currently stationed in Afghanistan. Gene said, “He’s doing a great job, says they are making progress.”

Blue Star Moms Gloria and Maureen share a laugh and a hug. Gloria’s son is getting ready to go to Afghanistan and Maureen has one son in the Army and one son in ROTC at college. Military family members are the heart and soul of our rallies.

We seem to be getting more honks and thumbs up than ever. Thanks to all who made it happen. Our troops step into a battlezone, we step out of our comfort zone. United We Stand. God bless our troops, protect them, and guide them to victory.

Cold wind and falling snow didn’t keep us from having our weekly rally. Thanks to all who were able to come out and show support for our brave and noble troops.

Special thanks to Blue Star Mom Gloria Witt for taking these pictures.

We were honored to have Greg, a US Marine Officer, join us on New Year’s Day while he was home on leave. His mother and father are regular attendees at our weekly rally. Greg is an Afghanistan veteran and will be going back soon. He brought his girlfriend. Thanks for coming Greg. You and all your buddies are always in our hearts, we are grateful for your service and sacrifice.

All are invited to join us to show public support for our troops and their families. We meet every Saturday in West Chester at the corner of High St and Market St (where the Chester County Courthouse is) from 11AM till Noon. At noon we sing the National Anthem and say the Lords Prayer for our troops.
