I am a retired Navy Vietnam-era vet and a Desert Storm vet. Many veterans and supporters will be on hand to defend The Wall, and the call has also gone out to Rolling Thunder. I would like to thank the Freepers for helping us out with this important mission.

Many of us have been trying to decide the best tactic to use. We can all agree that these idiots deserve to be shouted down, and need a swift kick in the gluteus maximus. But, The Wall is a place of honor and we don't want to disturb the resting place of our comrades, or disrupt any family/friends visiting The Wall. One idea we came up with is to form a defensive perimeter around The Wall and enmass turn our backs to the protesters, maybe standing at attention or saluting our fallen. This would make a powerful statement, and any action against us would be solely blamed on the snivelling whiners and cowards.

What do you think?

The latest from ANSWER. Just thought I'd share. Are they running scared?

Where we will Assemble on March 17

Tens of thousands of people will be gathering at Constitution Gardens near the Vietnam Memorial prior to the March on the Pentagon on Saturday March 17. This is the same location that ANSWER used for its mass anti-war rally on October 26, 2002. On March 17, 2007 we will leave Constitution Gardens and march on Constitution Ave. and then to Virginia on the way to the Pentagon. We will not be in the Vietnam Memorial and all speakers for amplified sound are turned away from the Memorial so as not to interfere with family members visiting the site. Thousands of veterans and military families, including those who have lost loved ones in Iraq, will be in the front ranks of the March on the Pentagon. Some tiny pro-Bush groups who support the war in Iraq, and who normally mobilize about 25 people to hold signs when massive antiwar protests take place, are now callously trying to manipulate Vietnam veterans by spreading rumors that the March on the Pentagon will defile the Vietnam Memorial. This lie should be treated with the same contempt that people have for the other lies promoted by Bush and his followers to justify an illegal war of aggression: Iraq had Weapons of Mass Destruction; Iraq was responsible for the September 11 attacks; and that the U.S. occupation would be greeted as an act of liberation by the Iraqi people. Enough lies. Enough deceit!

Here's a basic map of the area, including The Wall and Constitution Gardens, where the communist sponsor, ANSWER, will have their huge speakers, stage and porta potties set up. ANSWER always spares no expense on huge (and I mean huge) sound system, to draw attention of, and no doubt piss off, passers-by:

If there are enough on our side (and I literally pray that there are) to form an elbow-to-elbow human barrier around the area, that would be great. Also take note of the close proximity of the communist group's "peace" rally to the WWII and Korean War Memorials as well. If there are enough on our side, perhaps we could also have folks keep a close eye on those memorials, too. Leftists are opportunists as well as cowards. If they think trashing The Wall or rushing the line there is too risky, they wouldn't hesitate to move on to an unprotected memorial to our heroes.

That area will be lousy with two-legged leftist vermin on March 17th, of that we are certain.

Folks within the different groups involved on our side are talking, and in the next few weeks they will probably formulate a plan. Let's all stay attentive to the various websites and this resource link for updates - and keep spreading the word among our friends!

First, thank you for your service to our country!!!
Welcome to FreeRepublic!!!

The Veterans and Rolling Thunder have done a wonderful job of coming together and we are grateful they will be there to defend The Wall and show solidarity with other Americans willing to stand up to the commie scum.

One idea we came up with is to form a defensive perimeter around The Wall and enmass turn our backs to the protesters, maybe standing at attention or saluting our fallen. This would make a powerful statement, and any action against us would be solely blamed on the snivelling whiners and cowards.

I agree this would make a powerful statement. However, these "people" are dangerous! We need to have large numbers of patriots to watch your backs. They are NOT above attacking you from behind. So far it looks like we may have the numbers to accomplish the mission.

If you don't mind, I will add you to the RESOSURCE LINK ping list. I only use it when I do an update every few days, which I am working on now.
