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.
Yep, There was definitely a lot going on last weekend. Good thing there are enough patriots to be in both places even though individually we couldn’t. Thanks to you and Zelig for representing us at the Capitol.
We’ll catch up on one of your trips to DC.
[Mr] T
Good deal. Will you also be in town for the April 15 Tea Party?
Looks like another busy weekend.
[Mr] T
I debated on how much to put in the AAR about Phelps. I finally decided that most FReepers know about their demon clan and concentrated on us.
Thank you for being there both days.
[Mr] T
Real Good link, thanks. I can see where the Old Guard could be misunderstood as ‘toy soldiers’. But I don’t think many on FR do.
And thanks for the Old guard link used in the thread.
[Mr] T
You’ve physically supported us in the past and we thank you for that. Your a long way off and are welcome back any time.
[Mr] T
Yep, the Old Guard are the best, that’s why they do what they do. Their restraint allows them to serve our fallen heroes and their families, where it really matters.
[Mr] T
Are they current Old Guard members? That is just awesome.
I have no words when I see men & women protecting the families of our fallen heros and the sacred grounds where they are laid to rest.
Thank you for all you do. It brings tears to my eyes, but they are ‘good’ tears.
Yep, they are stationed at Arlington Cemetery. They heard about Phelps and came out to do something but being active duty, their actions were limited. They were very pleased to see us there.
[Mr] T
Thank you for being there ... I have four close relatives at Arlington.
You’re Welcome. Your relatives and all the fallen warriors were why we were there.
[Mr] T
“...their actions were limited...”
Looking at them standing tall and strong, I cannot think of a stronger action.
I love all of you for doing this.
Strong but limited.
It really is hard not to at least rescue the U.S. flag from these morons.
[Mr] T
Do you have a bead on their schedule...
I would really love to see if they come down our way...
I’d like to say “hi” to them...
Who funds that Phelps trash ?
Agree.....
Great job! God bless all of you. Thanks for the ping.
I will probably miss the tea party-my aim is to get there for the 2nd Amendment Rally and march on the 19th. I wish the two events were closer.....
They’re schedule starts on March 31, Wednesday, but several weeks ago they had Texas on their schedule. They have probably already been there. You can check their schedule at godhatesfags.com Looks like a lot of mid-West locations.
Just be careful, they get their money through lawsuits. If a person physically assaults them they sue the person and the local government for not protecting their “rights”.
[Mr] T
If you are meeting at the White House you’ll have company. SHALOM INTERNATIONAL will also be there at noon on Monday and all day on Sunday to protest against the OBAMA/CLINTON/BIDEN’S reckless anti-Semitic policies.
Not to worry, I know that many of them are lawyers, and are looking to incite reaction...Physical and verbal...
These are not God fearing people, they hate God...
