About 150 people -- those opposed to the Iraq War and those supporting it -- gathered noisily outside a Tacoma Mall office building on Saturday.
A group known as World Can't Wait had organized an anti-war protest to mark the coming fifth anniversary of the Iraq War. But long before their protest was scheduled to begin, counter-protesters arrived.
The counter-protesters surrounded an office building that houses military recruiting offices, which anti-war protesters had said they planned to "shut down." They shouted "God bless our troops" and waved American flags.

Oh my gosh! I need coffee or glasses..I initially read “burp in memory of Tonk”!
No disrespect at all intended, I always admired Mr. Tonk and was very saddened by Tonk’s passing

Acknowlegement is not the lexicon defined use for “bump” but I, and others, have used it that way as a type of FR slang (I guess) for a long time now.

Thanks very much for the first-hand report on this “protest.” Kudos to all who joined the “counter protesters,” and to all the Tacomans who ignored the punks.

I offer my thanks and a hearty bravo zulu to you sir.
That is the recruiting office in which I signed up for my 6 glorious years of service in the USN...back in 1985 (entered service in 1986).
