Beautiful ! Just Beautiful ! Those pictures should remind us all just what it is we’re fighting for , a country we can be proud to pass on to them .

( Funny , how a crowd of “old white people” can look so young ! )

One of the best experiences I had at the rally was giving away about 3 dozen “memory necklaces” to children under 10 in the crowd. I didn’t think of it until the last minute, or I would have made more. They were simple little red, white or blue ribbons with a few red, white and blue pony beads and a small Restoring Honor paper “medallion” attached. I chose children who were behaving, but looked like they needed something to make them smile. I told the children that they needed to save them for their memory books or boxes for when they were “really” old! I hope they do.

Indoctrination! There is no version of Christianity that spreads the hate you spread.

My kids watched this with me in our kitchen, streaming from Facebook. My oldest daughter (7) was moved by the honor showed to God and our troops, and went and got her Bible and read the story of Gideon to her siblings (4 and 2). I asked her why she wanted to do that, and she said that she wanted to remind them that “if we don’t have God on our side, we won’t be able to win and bring our troops home”. [I LOVE my kids!] Thanks, Glenn – for putting on this great revival to restore honor to God! We love you, brother!

Why do the kids look so sad with all the wonderful Americans there?
Must have been hot there.

I wish I could have been there to listen to the speeches and boogie to
Jo Dee Messina because she is a great singer and loves America unlike
the Dixie (Commie) Chicks.

God Bless Glenn Beck, he speaks for me

My (almost) 4 y/o daughter TeeTee would’ve loved it. I’ve been teaching her patriotism for America since she was born. When she sees a Soldier she walks up and says “Thank you for your service.” Wish we could’ve been there.

Like CCBN said above, someday you’ll be saying …”I was there when…”!

This is how you plant the seed. They may not understand the importance now but will when they get older and say…”I was there when…”!

Even better news: I’ll bet we’re out-reproducing the Lefties by a margin of at least 3-to-1

I had all three of my kids there. All of them enjoyed the event. My oldest daughter said that Glenn Beck was awesome and my youngest said that she would never forget that day.

Might we have seen the next George Washington in those photos. We can only hope that this is the start of renewed emphasis on Faith Hope and Charity with all Americans. Honor, truth a belief that we are a great nation and the last hope of freedom in this world. Returning to those values and beliefs that made is that great nation and been slowly dwindling over the past 90 years. Ive always thought that there needed to be a reset button, something to stop the downward spiral away from morals, God, family and exceptionalism. I truely believe that the Restoring Honor Rally is that reset button. Congratulations Glenn on a fantastic event. Lets not let this feeling fade like the feeling of 9/12 did.

I’m guessing that these kids don’t realize how special this event is. I’m sure once they get older and look back at the pics, they will thank their parents for being so cool and taking them.

Great photos, and kudos to those who went!

Ya know . . . it’s weird. I went through all 38 photos and
didn’t see ONE body piercing, Goth outfit or tattoo.

My 3 yr old was there. She got to play the whole time with another little girl that was sitting next to us. They shared their food & water & colored together. It was so sweet! I only wish we had thought to get Lily’s address.
