"FIGHT FOR VICTORY TOUR" IN NILES, ILLINOIS, A BIG SUCCESS; MRS MARATHON PUNDIT COMES THROUGH FOR THE TROOPS

It was a very busy and successful day for the MOVE AMERICA FORWARD pro-troop caravan in Niles, Illinois. Buzz did an appearance on Bill O'Reilly's show and then did the Niles rally in the evening. And, as usual, Buzz did everyone proud with his performance on O'Reilly's show.

Lots of folks showed up to support the caravan. Bloggers, Freepers, veterans--new and old--and just plain old American Patriots. A candidate running for the U.S. Senate seat in '08 was there, as well as WGN9, CBS2, and ABC7 doing interviews.

Also in attendance was Mrs Marathon Pundit--she took all the pictures for her husband, Marathon Pundit, who had to work late and couldn't attend. His daughter, Little Marathon Pundit, would've been there, too, but she took ill. I hope she's feeling better soon.

Can't thank the Marathon Pundit family enough for helping make this rally in Niles a success. Now get over to his site to see his post and pictures. For more on the Niles rally, take a look at Backyard Conservative's post. Thanks, Anne, for that post and for attending the rally. You guys make all the difference in the world.

***You and your family can be part of the caravan when it arrives in your town--check the schedule here. Hello, don't I know a couple people from OHIO?? Well, the caravan's headed your way...and soon. Who knows, maybe the caravan will be met by an Angel or two?

Just a reminder, after the "FIGHT FOR VICTORY TOUR" ends this weekend in Washington D.C., Buzz Patterson will be on The Andrea Shea-King Show this Sunday night to do a wrap-up of the tour. Not only do I want you to listen to the show, I want you to blog about it in advance--let's have a big turnout in the chat room. Links and times for the show can be found on this blog Friday or Saturday, or you can check Andrea's site at the above link. Thanking all of you in advance. Oh, btw, here's a photo of Buzz and Andrea taken last year in Palm Beach, Florida:
