Official After-Action Thread: March 19 Fayetteville, NC Support Our Troops Rally

Freepers, lurkers and assorted patriots ^ | March 19, 2005 | Constitution Day

[Constitution Day]

Today we met in Fayetteville, NC to Freep a motley rabble of socialists, anarchists, Code Pink-os, and other throwbacks to the 60's! As usual, we were well outnumbered by their hordes of college students, aging hippies and other bused-in protestors, but we held our own as always.

Please post any reports and observations on this thread only.

I believe they are allowed to participate, soldiers just cannot be in uniform.

Oh my! What a gorgeous family! You girl, are either courageous or crazy LOL. You should see how frazzled I am after a day with my 9 mo. old grandaughter.....in my own house. You drove from Charlottesville to Fayetteville and back with all those chicklets and you still have a smile on your face? I dunno (shaking head).....

Thanks to you and all the chicklets. Heros all.

Quick question- how many American haters marched in NC yesterday? I was at the counter-demonstation in Central Park (after action report: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1366397/posts) and at tops they had 3000-4000 thousand.

how many American haters marched in NC yesterday?

Tops? 2500. We had 200+. Crowd control was excellent, courtesy of the Fayetteville Police Department and surrounding towns.

He's the coward who assulted me. He snuck up behind me and hit me a good solid lick in the top of my head and then begans yellling "He hit Me!!, He hit Me.

The blonde lady in question was with the long auburn haired, black vested, red megaphoned lady from Rolling Thunder. There were also several teenage girls with them. They came with us up to the corner to meet the lefties as they turned the corner. They were with us all day.

They were from Fayetteville and I think daughters/granddaughters of retired Airborne/Special forces soldiers.

[rrrod]

She and her daughters were right there on the front line!
