As an armyson, thanks.

God bless.

[MEG33]

Way to go.The commies are always there if there is conflict and concern,ready to create chaos.

[sneakers]

God bless your children - and, please, thank them for their service, from me and my thankful and appreciative family!

[hedgetrimmer]

I congratulate you. The more information made available to people about these groups the better. You have done a very great thing-- you have gotten involved and you are defending America. Too few like you around these days....

[Tempest]

You're a brave woman to deal with those nutbags.

[BykrBayb]

Sounds like you shined a light on their activities. I'm sure you must have influenced some of the people present who may have otherwise been horn-swaggled by this anti-American group. Thank you.

Tell them both "SEMPER FI!" for me, please?

I know one is a MARINE (The Few, The Proud) and the other is Army. As far as this old Cannon Cocker (U.S.M.C., 0811 '69-'71) is concerned, it just doesn't matter. They both are serving the cause of FREEDOM, and that transcends any intra-service rivalry at all.

With Respect, Appreciation and Love,

Howie

Ugh Rah!

[Faraday]

Thanks. Was it worth it to confront the enemy in this way?

[SAMWolf]

Thanks for going into the Lion's Den for us all.

[metesky]

Oh, into the lion's den, eh?

Were just military families there or were some of Bangor's commies hanging around?

[TaxRelief]

Infiltration of a "Military Families Speak Out" meeting.
The ultimate FReep.

[Happygal]

Bravo.

I'm an Irish girl.
Who appreciates fully the freedoms I enjoy, that are protected ONLY by the US and UK forces.

God Bless you, and your family. And I mean that.

[wallcrawlr]

Great write up, thanks.

Good for you for stepping out and attending. Thats great.

Prayers to your family and those in the war.

[Angelwood]

Excellent report and FReep! Your report gives great talking points to others who might be able to talk to more groups forming chapters or for use when protesting the anti-war groups (March 20, 2004 comes to mind).

You might want to print off a copy of the DC Chapter's Flag Guide to show them just what types of groups/issues make up the anti-war coalition. These flags, symbols and signs never make it on broadcast TV or print media.

Again, thanks for this great post.

Thank your sons for their service to our great nation. Then, turn to armymarinedad and thank him for his service followed by a conversation with that lady in the mirror and thank her as well.
Our sons and daughters, husbands and wives may wear the uniform and serve, but to those at home they serve our nation as well.

Salute to your sons and salute to you armymarinemom and armymarinedad.

I'm damned proud to be associated with you even though its just on the web. Thanks!

[BillF]

As an Air Force son and Air Force brother (he got back from the Gulf about 3 months ago), I have to say that you aim high and hit your targets. Well done!

[Flora McDonald]

This was great! You went in well-organized and stated your case without causing a ruckus.

Thank you for what you all did and thank you to your sons for their service.

[CPT Clay]

Thanks for your courage, you did what was right!!

[tgslTakoma]

Great work, armymarineparents. :-) You make a great team.

While you may think (for now) that you left the meeting without having changed any minds, you have planted the seed of doubt as to who they are considering allying themselves with on the "anti-war" front.

Keep hammering away at the leftists' wall of deceit. One day (soon, I hope) it will collapse on them.

I know your kids must be very proud of you both. I love you guys!

I strongly recommend that ya'all scrub down with a bar of Fel's Naptha Soap- it'll dry up everything from chiggersbites to the dull throb the usual maggot infested Redbugs known to lurk on or about Ramsey Clark typically cause.
