Operation Yellow Ribbon

Posted on 03/15/2005 1:36:49 PM PST by ceide

SUPPORT THE TROOPS RALLY

Friends,

Every week, a group of protesters assemble in front of Fort Monmouth. They claim that they are against the war, not the troops, yet they choose to protest right in front of the soldiers home, Fort Monmouth. Time after time, the families of these soldiers, many of whom are deployed in Iraq, are subjected to these protesters suggesting their family members are “murderers.” They use their freedoms to abuse the very people that ensure they are free. Many of these people are bussed in from New York, professional protesters, if you will. My small group counter-protests against them every Saturday.

We recently discovered that they intend to hold a “vigil” this Friday, the 2nd anniversary of the invasion of Iraq. Don’t let the name fool you. This is no vigil to honor our fallen heroes. They use the image of our soldiers only to advance their own cause. I know this is short notice, but I’m asking for people that are proud of our troops, and proud of America, to come out and join us. I can spare a few hours this Friday, I hope you can, too.

What SUPPORT THE TROOPS RALLY

Where FORT MONMOUTH, EATONTOWN

When FRIDAY, MARCH 18, 4pm

You needn’t be there at 4pm, nor do you have to stay to the end (7pm). If you can, great, but any amount of time would be helpful. Just show up and introduce yourself. We stand on the southbound side of Rt. 35, in front of the Exxon. Parking is available in the Eatontown municipal lot, the park just south of Tinton Ave, and limited parking at the Exxon. For further information please visit the Protest Warrior site Operations Page and click on Operation Yellow Ribbon.

Thanks,

Mike Martin

Me too!

If the weather is nice, I also like to roll down the windows and yell "GO HOME LOSERS" at them.

Thanks for supporting our troops.

We've had it with the Hanoi Kerry and Hanoi Jane lies!

Hi !

I have searched and I don't know what state this is in and I couldn't find anything about it at two of the PR websites. IF you could give me more information I will spread the word a bit. Thanks

This is in Eatontown N.J.

The fort's main entrance is on HWY. 35 on the northbound side about 1 or 2 miles north of the Monmouth Mall.

Exit 105 off the GS parkway is the most direct route if you're coming from outside the area. Exit 109 will get you there as well but it is a bit more of a circuitous route once your on the surface roads.

Could one of you put something about this on the NJ state board? I believe you have to have claimed the state on your profile before you can post on the board...since I'm from Colorado, I don't have access to the state board.

Yup. Everytime I have to go to the Eatontown Mall these filth seem to be there outside Fort Monmouth.

I've given them a piece of my mind.

I would find out where they were planning to stand and saturate the ground with so much water that it would be like standing in a mud puddle with them slipping and sliding on their a$$es

OR

walk about a hundred dogs after a good feeding on their protesting space prior to their arrival.

What I don't understand is whether or not they have a permit to be on the land they protest on. I'd be shocked if taht land doesn't belong to Fort Monmouth itself.

Why are the filth on the Fort side of 35 and the Americans on the gas station side?

Also, have you noticed that the guy who owns the storage facility right down the road has been putting up patriotic slogans on his big bulletin board lately?
