VETERANS DAY, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 8AM TILL NOON
Westboro Baptist Church, aka Fred Phelp's one-branch family tree, is once again targeting Arlington Cemetery.
WBC will be there on Veterans Day, Thursday, Nov. 11, to protest our fallen heroes.
We will be there from 8AM (to start setting up) till noon to be sure our patriotic message is seen long after WBC leaves. WBC will be there from 9 till 11AM
The DC Chapter will have our Walter Reed MOAB, flags, banners, posters, patriotic music, HOT COFFEE, and light snacks.
Our past 4 times opposite WBC have been at the Arlington Cemetery blue line Metro station escalators. We usually permit on the north or American Legion Bridge side of Memorial Drive. But I'm sure you will easily find us.
This thread will be updated as needed. WBC has been known to change their plans.
For all those Marines who took off the day after your Marine Corps birthday celebration, we hope to see you here. Give me your phone number and I'll give you a wake up call at 0600.
I am not sure what your goal was in advocating violence on this site and at this event. I wonder why you would feel that the hours we have all given to this cause makes us WIMPS?
Would a one time physical confrontation, and all the following legal battles, be a better use of our fortunes and time? The courts would side with their right to assemble, you know!
You are welcome to join this group of dedicated heroes only if you can accept and respect our rules and goals. I hope other FRiends of Free Republic will join the group.
My husband lies within those gates. Your suggestion would not honor him.
Thank you for supporting the group.
We part-timers are best able to do that!
Freeper ping to those who might be able to make it.
Another ping to VA Freepers. Perhaps some VA Freepers live close enough to join you in honoring our fallen heroes.
Wifey has always wanted to go to DC for the usual tourist reasons, yet I’ve resisted totally because of the evil that emanates from there........but the one thing that might ever convince me to visit that sh*thole would be to saddle up with some fellow FReepers for just such events as this and the Walter Reed watches.
“Where WBC stands is about 500 feet from the guarded entrance of Arlington Cemetery.”
Someone needs to prep that area with Skunk Shot.
Thanks for the pings

Time is short, but this week would be great for a fly over. Weather is chilly but not yet cold.
[Mr] T
I have been thinking how to low key disrupt their protests. Skunk shot would be the answer if I had more time.
Put it far enough behind the sidewalk so after they slink back to the hole they came from, visitors to Arlington would not be affected.
[Mr] T
was there today with the peeps I ride with my shirt read “I hope you dont make it to the future”. Loud bikes and good turn out by several clubs...
Thanks for being there, and all the patriotic riders. It was great to have a human shield in front of Phelps. I’ll ping you to the AAR when it is up.
