Michele Malkin has clips from the web-a-thon at the above link. You can also watch it by going here.
What a fantastic experience this was!! I almost made it to the end but crashed at about 2300. The chat room was rocking with all sorts of troops supporters, military spouses, military Moms and Dads and bloggers. There were over 1000 chatters in there for a good part of the time. I can’t tell how awesome it was to be hanging out with so many true red, white and blue Americans who really and wholeheartedly support our troops AND their mission.
Thank you Melanie and Michele and Debbie
and everyone who helped make this come about!
Hoo-frickin-Ahh!!

Donna ~ I so hope that Pelosi and Reid and Murtha and Durbin et al get this shoved right in their faces. Tho, they probably wouldn’t get the point.
What was really neat for me to see was all the CA folks giving so much!!
