Normally it's easy to laugh at those ignorant, ungrateful nimrods, but this time around smiling may be my biggest challenge. But Kristinn and Angelwood are bringing Whiffle ball bats to keep me in line. :-)

I have passed this thread on to someone who knows a LOT of Vets ~ maybe one or two can help. I wish I could. Right now I'm torn between wishing I could be in FL to counter Fred Phelps or DC to help counter PinkoWenches. What a weekend that would be ~ DC on Friday night, road trip on Sat and Sunday, counter Phelps on Monday. Someday, when kids are grown, I want to do this stuff....!

You do plenty right where you're at, including raising four beautiful children to cherish their freedom and those who protect it.
give em hell FR's
Yeah, coop - git'er done fer G_D.
I'm sure they'll be at the Pentagon Tuesday morning, like they were the Tuesday after Memorial Day, when I almost completely lost it with them. I catch the Metro at the Pentagon most days, and they are always there Mondays, and Tuesdays if Monday was a holiday. If it looks like I can get out the door early on a Monday, I throw on my "Support Our Troops" t-shirt & stand there with a flag that says "Thank You for My Freedom" till I absolutely have to catch the train to my office.
I was so outraged that even the day after Memorial Day, the little weasels couldn't summon up one damned crumb of gratitude that I was almost foaming at the mouth - when the chief weasel said "God Bless You", I asked why would I want a blessing from Satan? Unfortunately, I didn't think of the best line till I was halfway down the escalator, but I'm saving it for next Tuesday:
"Why don't you just go over to Arlington Cemetery & piss on some graves to show them what you really think?"
They disgust me Coop. Thanks for being there for those of us who can't. *HUGS!*
Hey, I've used that very line (or something very similar) a few times! Great work at the Metro. Will you and/or hubby be there tonight?
Hey! Half my dang family is buried there. Don't give them any ideas.
I'm just a tag-along. The thanks belong to the D.C. chapter of FR.
We can't make it tonight - too much company coming in for the big party & too much work remains to be done - I'm supposed to be cutting the grass right now.
We're hoping to be able to start making it on Fridays after this one. We've been trying to finish up five years' worth of projects in the last few months.
And I notice (after posting, of course) that I left out a couple of words - it should be "...with a flag AND A SIGN that says..."
Heck, bring the party to Walter Reed! :-)
They won't. They actually seem to be Quaker-types, except for one old bat that has a collection of signs with slogans like "US is the Number One Terrorist State" and "Torture is US Policy". There are a couple of girls from Protest Warrior that show up as their schedules permit, and one time when the peaceniks were chanting some anti-war stuff, we drowned them out with the Star Spangled Banner, and they stopped. Perhaps out of shame, perhaps because we were singing very badly (it's hard to sing on key when there's only a few of you trying to drown out fifty of them) and they realized that we wouldn't shut up unless they did.
And we'll set up two pavilions, three grills, a volleyball net/croquet court and 12-foot swimming pool where?
LOL - looks like we had the same voice coach.
