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.
Walter Reed Army Medical Center, 7200 Georgia Ave., at Elder St., NW
6:30pm until approximately 9:30pm
Patriots will have all four corners of Georgia Avenue/Elder Street intersection - with Protest Warrior having the permit for the two corners on the West and the DC Chapter of Free Republic having the permit for the two corners on the East.
On street parking is usually easy to find. Location is about 6 or 7 blocks from the Takoma metro station and is walkable, but it is best if you get a ride. If you want a ride, FReepmail tgslTakoma and BillF (hopefully his computer issues will be solved today), preferably with your cell phone number as far in advance as possible. We'll do our best to arrange a ride from the Takoma Metro station for you.
ping!
Wonderful! There is one good thing about being home sick...I get to say "Thanks" first.
I hope your DC cold isn't too bad. Thank you for joining us last week - it was very nice to meet you and put a face to your name. And thank you for giving up a seat at the CPAC banquet to show real support for our wounded warriors.
I've been fighting off a cold for three weeks now. First cold in four years, and it's hanging on...
BUMP Can't be there tonight, but hope to make it up soon for my first "All FReepers All the Time on All Four" freep.
Supporting Our Wounded Warriors at Walter Reed PING
Oops-- whatta ya mean it's not Friday yet?
Warms my heart.
Wish I could be there.:(
GOOD NEWS!! And good work!
BTTT
Help us show the wounded warriors and their families and friends that mainstream Americans do care about them, appreciate greatly their sacrifice, and that we support them and their mission.
Bump!
Wow, great post!
Thanks for the kind words. I am feeling better today. It's that time of year, plus being in all those crowds.

Same here times many. Down side is that it's going to be so much harder to flame certain people.
to show real support for our wounded warriors.
I intend to be back. In fact I am making plans to come down for the Washington Correspondants Dinner. If so, I'll make sure I come to Walter Reed, the previous Friday.
Here are some of my favorites. (When you click the link to the photo, you can click the photo it to enlarge it.)
BillF is a guy who wears several hats.
Kristinn and Cindy-True-Supporter.
The MOAB (Mother of All Banners) and lots of other pro-troops signs.
Hi, army mom! Wisconsin's not so far... but in the meantime, FReep where you are! Please thank your son for us for his service!
I sooooo look forward to these reports and pictures. Thanks to all of you who are able to stand for us.
