Hippie march sparks counter protest
(East Moriches, NY) At 4:00 PM, two small political groups collided when members marching from various anti-war organizations marched passed two 17-year-old members of the Westhampton Teenage Republicans (http://WesthamptonTars.8m.com) who had flags and a sign of their own. The anti-war groups confronted the teenage republicans after they were spotted across the street along their marching route. At first mistaken as fellow anti-war protesters, they were invited to march with the group. Then, the group's leader realized that the two teens were in fact on the other side and supporting our troops. After a lengthy debate, the anti-war group left as the pro-American teens waved their flags and celebrated "the fact that our troops who fight for us now are allowing us to use our rights to counter the very people countering them." They later commented on how remarkable it was that "two 17-year-old teens could stop a whole march without saying a word." ###

Pictures Are Here! What do you all think? I could not grab any when we were debating them because my camera was in the car, but next time we might use a video camera!

These two guy are the reason that I served in the military knowing that I defended a country where these two were able to grow up free and speak there mind an act upon it, And to engage in peaceful political activism, it makes me damn proud to be an American, and gives me great hope for our future of our nation that these two outstanding young men are out there. If anyone knows them or if they are part of this board please pass this along for me. "Geoff & Robert A huge thumbs up for standing for what you believe, and proving to the hippies that they do not have the corner on the free speech market. Keep up the great work!"

Joyful enthusiasm; may you never lose it, no matter what endeavors you two may undertake. If you can share this with the world, your lives will have special meaning beyond your ability to comprehend.
