Who is the anonymous donor that sent 30 dozen roses to Camp Casey today?
http://www.kcentv.com/news/c-article.php?cid=1&nid=7791

>>>snip
The destroyed crosses have been replaced with new ones and anonymous supporters sent more than thirty dozen roses to “Camp Casey”, the name given to the protest site in honor of Sheehan's son who died in Iraq.

Organizers say the act of vandalism won't deter them from staying.

1. Freepers will probably trace the flowers to Osama bin Laden.

25. You're being presumptuous to assume they even remember...
who Osama Bin Laden is.

2. Virtue is its own reward.
... is why people choose to stay anonymous.

6. Yes, probably Osama, Mullah Omar and Al Zarquawi. If they
check with FDS they can probably nail them all.

8. Isn't the tire thing amazing? They caught the wretch who
destroyed the memorial because one of the crosses got stuck in his tire and caused him to have a flat.

INSTANT karma got him!

29. He might have been truckin' last night
But the media reports he's a realtor in Waco, so he's not a redneck. The hero in this story today is the redneck, Fred Mattlage, who offered Cindy the use of his land. I only call him a redneck because he works the land and is no doubt proud of his red neck, so I say that with the best intentions! :patriot: Fred is a True Texan and a patriot! :patriot:

I'm no longer very high on realtors, though. ;)

12. I don't know who sent roses, but I do know which DU'er sent
generators, fans, and tent to Camp Casey. She cancelled her family vacation and gave the money 'to patriots who needed it'. Her brother is a Marine...

Keeping generosity secret is admirable, but it is also WONDERFUL to get to witness such acts of kindness.

:applause:
