ARLINGTON CEMETERY - 03-21-10, Old Guard Joins FReepers, Eagles to Counter Phelps
March 27,2010

Posted on 03/27/2010 6:16:19 PM PDT by trooprally

We heard that Phelps’ demon clan was to be at Arlington Cemetery on Sunday so we quickly amended our Saturday permit to include Sunday. Some of the Gathering of Eagles members who were in town Saturday to keep watch over our Military Memorials joined the DC Chapter.

We were pleasantly surprised to see some of Arlington’s Old Guard joining us. And they were pleased to see us. While the Old Guard could not hold any signs their presence was very noticeable and welcomed.

BELOW LEFT: Old Guard before Phelps showed up. BELOW LEFT: Photo Op. Concretebob is hiding but if you follow the U.S./Marine Corps flag pole down he’s the one in the olive drab tee shirt.



BELOW: Old Guard holding their own. Wouldn’t expect any less from them. The lady is an Eagle's wife, and Tolerance Sucks Rocks is also shown.



BELOW: Several of the Eagles helping to hold the MOAB. L-R: ?? , Toothless Dawg, and FReeper GunsAreOK. We added the extra foot supports to the MOAB to get it above the patriots in our “cage”. Since we were permitted this year, NPS put a cage around us.

PATRIOTS NOT SHOWN: Another Eagle, 3DJoy, ConcreteBob, Sensei Ern, [Mrs] T and myself. A second passerby also joined us.

And as we normally get when we do these Rallies, we had plenty of support from passerby and cars. There were several groups of school kids walking by who were vary supportive of us. And we received a lot of waves from the tour bus passengers and drivers.

BELOW: For some of those who don’t know the Phelps’ One-Branch-Family-Tree Demon Clan, here is their picture. They also spit on the flag and stood on it.

You’re welcome. This was one rally that we wished we didn’t have to do, but if not us, then who? The Old Guard couldn’t do what they really wanted to do.

Thank you so much for what you do!

We can’t even honor and bury our dead without the scum of the earth adding to the grief! What a sad excuse for a human being they are!

You are all welcome from the patriots who were there.

Phelps is on a nationwide protest tour of schools and churches. This was the one place we really had to rally.

I sure do wish we could have been with you guys for this one, though...

What a bunch of scumbags. A lot of people don’t know about them, and when I try to explain it, generally people don’t believe me.
