Sorry for the late notice, but I just learned of this tonight.
The National Press Club is located at 529 14th St., NW. The nearest Metro station is Metro Center.
D.C. Chapter mega ping!
Wow...short notice...guess I have to pass this time.
More notice would have helped, indeed. I’ll be there, though. I’ll just have to get up early :-(
Which group(s) of leftists are planning the disruptions?
Are cameras, video cameras, and audio recorders allowed?
I won't be able to be there. I have a memorial service to attend for WWII Army vet (my uncle).
During the war, Cottage City, MD had a large sign up on display, naming every local boy serving in the war. Uncle Mal and three of his brothers (all the Middleton sons) were on the Honor Roll.
Please kick any and all of the commies' asses (figuratively speaking, of course) who dare to disrupt this event. For all the soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines who have gone before the ones now serving.
I know I haven’t been to a DC event in ages, and would love to, but the 4 hour drive now is just too much.
Eagles UP, and I’m looking forward to reading the after action report.
I could get up early, but the school bus can not be made to come early!!
I would be so late in the rush hour traffic it would be a useless drive.
See you at WRAMC at 6:30.

Hang in there Kristinn. We all appreciate what you do.
I hope that cspan records it for later viewing. (Congressional sessions might actually be occupying the cspan channels this morning.)
A powerful panel. I had read comments from Joe Galloway in the past that were not supportive of the campaign in Iraq. So I will be very interested in his participation on this panel.
Just stopping by to check if there is any news here.
Report later?
