The DC Chapter started gathering at 3:30, unloading flags, banners, signs and a sound system. We expected Westboro Baptist Church to arrive at 4:30 but they arrived at 4. We responded by setting up quicker.
DC Chapter members were Lurker Bill, Cindy_True_Supporter, GunsAreOK, RongKirby, [Mrs] Trooprally and myself. We were joined by a mother and her two kids who were walking by, 5 other patriots who heard about our rally, 3 Marine wives from Quantico, a guy in a wheel chair, and 6 Vietnam Vets on their Harleys. They did not claim to be part of Rolling Thunder or Patriot guard Riders, just Vietnam Vets.
The WBC “one branch family tree” morons had a boot load of misfits. They were all in town for Wednesday’s Supreme Court hearing. They have a lot to lose so they came out in force. They received the normal reaction from passer-bys, disgusted looks, one finger salutes and a lot of verbal harassment from our Vietnam Vets.
BELOW LEFT: Vietnam Vets being swarmed by reporters (8-10) when they first arrived and revved up their bikes. The reporters were like kids in a candy store, taking pictures from different angles, shooting WBC from between two bikes, putting their mics up to the rear of the bikes to get a louder sound. BELOW LEFT: Calmer picture of Vets after reporters had their fill. Even as the Vets were dismounting, you can see some late comer reporters crossing the street.
BELOW LEFT: Lurker Bill, Mom and her kids (passer-bys that joined us). BELOW RIGHT: Mom & daughter, GunsAreOK, Marine Vet and guy I have seen at the Tea Parties. The sign above him swivels to another sign on the reverse side.
BELOW LEFT: Cindy_True_Supporter talking to Vietnam Vet. BELOW RIGHT: RongKirby and Walter Reed MOAB

Well done!
Make sure to take a good long shower with some anti-bacterial soap after having been that close to the F.P. morons.
PRESENT ARMS!
thanks for being there & the great report/pix!
I saw the MOAB and the little girl holding the God Bless our Military sign for a brief couple of seconds, on the local 5 o’clock news out of Boston.
Thanks for being out there !

Fantastic! Thanks for being there today.
The Cemetery is so special to me.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being at Arlington for me. Thanks to all of you Freepers and all the others who stood beside you.
“Make sure to take a good long shower with some anti-bacterial soap after having been that close to the F.P. morons.”
DONE!
This past March some of the Old Guard were out with us, Tuesday we had some Vietnam Vets on Harleys. Shame they couldn’t Present Arms.
[Mr] T
Thanks for the kudos and standing with us at Bethesda Naval Medical Center. Looking forward to your next trip down to DC. This Obambi economy sure screws with travel plans.
[Mr] T
Thanks for the media up date. Sure glad the girl made the news. As usual, lots of media but little coverage of patriots. One reporter came over to us, said he couldn’t say this publically, but he thanked us for being out there.
[Mr] T
You are welcome from the patriots. The mom and her kids and the Vietnam Vets were sure welcomed.
[Mr] T
You are welcome. I remember the first time we meet. You were in a wheel chair recovering from a severe car accident (not her fault if any one is wondering), but you still made it.
[Mr] T
God bless all of you. Thank you for representing us.
You are welcome from the DC Chapter. DC is rich in libs and idiots so we keep busy for you all.
[Mr] T
“The Cemetery is so special to me.”
Me too ... my wife waits there.
Nice job, guys...:)
Sure wish I could have been there with you!
Thanks, and while you couldn’t be here this time, we really do appreciate all your past help.
