Wonder if "Baghdad Bruce, People's Ministry of Truth" got Harry Potter's autograph?
Can you sacrifice an evening to honor the much greater sacrifice that the troops are making for our freedom?
FReepers will continue FReeping the Code Pinkos every Friday night until they stop their obscene blood dance outside the hospital of our war-wounded. If you agree with me that it is outrageous for Code Pinkos to demonstrate at a hospital with war-wounded troops inside, please come out and join us in a peaceful counter-protest.
One of the amputees told me months ago that he doesn't want other wounded troops coming into Walter Reed and seeing only the Code Pinkos at the gates. He explained that the FReeper presence there was extremely important to counter the Pinkos. Please join us and be a part of our peaceful counter-protest to Code Pink.
Please don't let the troops think that regular Americans are too busy with TV, ballgames, movies and other recreation to peacefully counter America-hating leftists.
Being there with us in spirit is great, but we need people to hold the MOAB (Mother of all banners), other signs, and flags. Maybe you can't come every week, but please make it your patriotic duty to join us at least once in the near future.
As always, the DC Chapter's rules for protesting will be in effect.
Briefly, they are: No violence. No profanity. No racism. No provocations. Obey the law. Treat all law enforcement officers with respect.
6:30 pm to 9:30 pm.
Walter Reed Army Medical Center, 7200 Georgia Ave., at Elder St., NW
Code Pinkos have been setting up on the southwest corner of the Georgia Ave/Elder St intersection. We've been setting up on the northeast corner across the street from Walter Reed's entrance gate. Now, their permit purportedly covers both corners on the west side of the street.
On street parking is usually easy to find. The location is about 6 or 7 blocks from Takoma metro station and is walkable, but it is best if you get a ride from the station. If you want a ride, FReepmail me with your cell phone number or, if you have no cell phone, your ride request, ASAP, but at least by 2 pm Eastern time on the day of the FReep. The earlier the better, especially if you don't have a cell phone.
FReepmail me to get on or off the list.
Injured Walter Reed patients, including amputees, have repeatedly told us how important it is for us to be there to counter Code Pink.
Please come out this Friday for Veterans' Day and honor our wounded veterans now at Walter Reed.
Some Q and A here:
Q: Will I be attacked by leftists?A: Quite unlikely, that there will be a serious problem. There is great security, both in our numbers, frequent police patrols, and the nearby guards at Walter Reed. The leftists are almost always across a 6 lane busy road, separating us from them.
Q: Is there a chance that I'll be arrested?
A: We've never had anyone arrested in 7 years. Behave properly, follow our rules, and you won't be arrested.
If we can sufficiently outnumber the leftists often enough, embarrassment may cause the leftists to stop these outrageous morale-damaging ("Maimed for a lie" was one of their signs) demonstrations at the hospital.
Our troops are bold enough to face bullets, mortars, IEDs, and suicide bombers. Are you bold enough to get out from behind the keyboard, FReep in person, and stand up for the wounded troops at Walter Reed?
If you're in the DC area and don't have family or work considerations that keep you from FReeping, can you spare a few hours on a Friday night? Will you?
Disclaimer (as inspired by a suggestion of BufordP, but language is mine): If anyone on this thread refers to some FReepers not doing enough for the troops and just sitting at home on their keyboards, but you are doing something else for the troops, then the comments are not directed at you. Please don't respond defensively. Just keep helping the troops in your own way. Come out to join us if you can.
You talked about coming out for one of these events some Friday.
How about this Friday, Veterans' Day?
Thanks for all you do.
I take it that the Vets from Rolling Thunder did not get a hug from the terrorist supporters.
Come out to WRAMC this Friday evening, and join the DC Chapter as we say "Thank You!" to our wounded troops, and "Freep You!" to the Code PinkOs and other leftists who are protesting the war at the wrong place.
Great post BillF!!!!
Can't wait for Veterans' Day.
You have done it again! I feel like I am there, during the reading!
Thank you so much for the wonderful job!
BufordP comments are outstanding!
I messed up the link for PleaDeal's blog and photos, erroneously linking to bmwcyle's photos from the week before. Here is the corrected link to PleaDeal's blog.
CORRECTED SENTENCE:
Maybe, Squeegee thinks that telling a Rolling Thunder member that the RT guy probably has a few felonies (as he was said to have done a few weeks back) and now all his lose loose talk about bullets makes him a tough guy for peace.
Someday I'll learn how to proof-read.
Wonderful report!! And praise to the photographers!
Bump in honor of our beloved veterans. WooHoo- See y'all Friday!
Snort!! That about says it all doesn't it. I wish he could this in print somewhere. Murphs face is priceless.
You're not very understanding. It's probably tough to think straight when your Depends are full...

You mean "Eric The Red" isn't for peace? You mean all this time he was trying order TWO beers?
How much we travel in PA versus NJ depends on who replies first.
Freep mail me if interested.
I just noticed that you asked to be included on the DC ping list quite some time back.
Sorry that I didn't see the public post til now, when looking over an old thread.
You will be added to the list.
I always look forward to the latest DC chapter Walter Reed thread. You guys are an inspiration. Keep it up!
As of now, my husband, Dick and I will be there, and maybe a third. I'm hoping so, anyway. Don't know if we will get lost on the way and be a bit late, but we are definitely planning on coming. It's Veterans Day.
