A.N.S.W.E.R. will be in D.C. once again this March 21, 2009 for their march on the Pentagon.
Gathering of Eagles/Eagle Up will already have Eagles watching over the various Military Monuments and recruiter stations. If you want to help in this endeavor, contact concretebob.
But if you want to help protect the sanctity of Arlington Cemetery, we will be there.
FreeRepublic, along with any one who will join us, will once again occupy an area on the Virginia side of the Memorial Bridge on the south side of Arlington Circle.
DATE: Saturday, March 21
TIME: 11:30AM to 4PM
PLACE: South side of Arlington Circle - See Map Below
CLOSEST METRO: Arlington Cemetery BLUE LINE
PARKING for the Metro: There is a parking garage just 75 feet (25 yards for you military types) west of 16th Street on the NORTH side of both Eye and K Streets. Make a quick walk west (1 1/2 block maximum) to the Farragut West station, hop onto the BLUE LINE to Arlington Station.
The EYE Street parking garage is 3/4 block east from the Farragut West station.
There is also a lot of street parking on the east side of the Foggy Bottom Station. Be watchful though of any metered parking spaces as they have a short time limit.
Please do NOT park in the Arlington Cemetery Parking garage.
There is a place to dropping off passengers where we are going to be at. Be mindful that the Memorial Bridge will be closed as ANSWER’s march gets close. And some roads on the north side of the Lincoln Memorial will also be closed.
It is anticipated by the Park Police that ANSWER will cross the bridge around 2PM and take an hour to cross. Personally I think it will be earlier and quicker since the leftist anarchist have their messiah in the White House to do their despicable deeds. They don’t need to march any more.
MAP of our location. Click the Map for the Google map. The Blue Line Metro station is also shown on the map. Sorry folks, we could not get half of the circle this year.
If you remember GoE I, it was cold, damp and very windy. This year the D.C. Chapter of FreeRepublic will have a tent, hot coffee, hot cocoa and some munches. We will also have posters for everyone, some courtesy of past GoE events. We will also have several bull horns.
MEMORIES for those at Arlington Circle on March 17,2007
If you are in town the Friday before, please stop by the Walter Reed FReep. We are at the corners of Georgia Avenue and Elder Street, NW from 7PM till around 9:30PM when the dinner bus returns to Walter Reed. There is plenty of parking.
Also, Mark your Calendars for May 23, "Defend America Rally”. This is NOT a FR, GoE or Eagles Up event but sounds like a real good event to attend.
And June 13, “Victory in Iraq Rally amd March”, sponsored by Gathering of Eagles and Eagles Up but FReeRepublic will lend any help we can. Some help we can give is by donating money. Check with Concretebob to see if he needs any help. This march was originally slated for April 4 but the Cherry Blossom Festival superceded it.
Thanks, I was looking for some good signs to make.
[Mrs] T just ordered more poster paper this AM.
Also ordered a big bunch of 12” x 18” American flags.
[Mr] T
I’ll second JVB’s comment, you all do great work where you are at. You can’t always make it to D.C. for some fun.
[Mr] T
Darthyorktown and Yorktownpatriot will be there
and loaded for bats!
Bring ‘em on!
Good deal. Thanks
Our numbers keep growing.
Looks like you joined FR right before GoE two years ago.
[Mr] T
Laura is going to be there somewhere around the 10th or 12th because there is an event to honor Fallen Corpsmen. But she is just flying in and out.
I will be there the evening of the 31st for a fundraiser. I also have to go there “in and out” because the kids have school.
I wish we could be there. You know Laura and I would if we could :) I am so grateful that our friends will be there to protect our husbands and their final resting place.
A big thank you to everyone that is going to those three events. It is comforting to know when we can’t go that our FR family will be there.
THANK YOU!
Doh!
Maybe we can make the June event. The kids might be out of school that week :)
June 13 sounds good if it is in the cards. It will also be warmer, more to what you are accustomed to. :-))
You both have safe trips.
[Mr] T
My mistake, please ping to this one. This is the real ACTION THREAD.
[Mr] T
Here is a more recent thread to Bump. Didn’t take close look at which thread you were bumping
[Mr] T
Ping!
Hopefully we shall see no bad incidents, nor anyone from our side harmed in any way.
