Vietnam Veterans to Rally in Washington (Patriots Rally for America III January 18)
Washington Dispatch ^ | Friday, January 10, 2003

Posted on 01/10/2003 2:48:34 PM PST by kristinn

Vietnam veterans and patriotic Americans from across the country will be rallying in our nation's capital to show support for their brothers and sisters in arms as they fight the war on terror and prepare to defend us from outlaw regimes like Iraq and North Korea.

The members of MOVEOUT! are "insulted by the leftist Sixties retreads and wannabes who are raising the specter of Vietnam in conjunction with the current "anti-war" demonstrations as if they are the sole voices from that era."

“These veterans are proud of their saving South Vietnam from communist occupation during the longest war in our history, a war that saw not one major battle lost, a war in which the enemy’s losses compared to ours were the most lopsided in history, a war that was lost by everyone BUT our troops AFTER they had gone,” stated Joel Kernodle, spokesman for MOVEOUT!

Mr. Kernodle, a retired CEO from Indianapolis, Indiana, served in Vietnam during 1967 as a Lance Corporal in the Marine Corps. Among the decorations he earned is the Purple Heart.

Following the rally, participants will gather along the march route of the "anti-war" group, IAC-ANSWER, at the Marine Barracks, 8th and I Street, SE, starting at 11 a.m. to peacefully exercise their right to observe a public parade and offer their opinion of it.

Event details:

My little group will be arriving in DC on Friday afternoon. Anything planned for Friday night? We'll be staying at the Holiday Inn - Capitol.

Need some sign ideas - so far: "WELCOME REPUBLICAN GUARD MEMBERS!" and "BRING BACK THE SEDITION ACT!"

From the announcement thread:

We will muster from 9 a.m. until 10:30 a.m. at Constitution Gardens which is right next to The Wall at 21st Street and Constitution Avenue, NW on the Mall.Mapquest Link.

At 10:30, we will fall out and proceed on foot and via Metro or cars to the Marine Barracks at 8th and I Streets, SE. There, we will line the sidewalk along 8th Street and exercise our rights as citizens to observe the public parade by the leftists and to peacefully offer our opinion of it. You should plan on being there until at least 2 or 3 p.m.

I'll keep my ears open.

1. "We will negotiate freely, but we will not negotiate Freedom!" John F. Kennedy

2. Terrorists want us dead. The U.S. Military wants them dead. Choose sides!

3. Eagles crush Terror with both talons!

4. What part of "They want to kill us." Do you not understand?

5. Pacifists are Freedom's parasites!

6. Blessed are the Peacemakers: The US Army, the US Navy, the US Air Force and the US Marines! (This one courtesy of fivetoes and Trteamer from the Colorado FReepers.)

7. Do your parents know you hang out with Commies on the weekend?

8. Enjoy your Freedom? Thank a veteran!

9. No war for oil? Fine. Drill ANWAR!

10. Peace through strength.

11. We will not tire, we will not falter and we will not fail!

12. I love my SUV! (This one just to tweak 'em a little bit!)

13. Saddam appreciates your efforts!

14. Osama appreciates all you do for him!

15. Serve your country. Leave!

Many of these came from the photos of FReepers across our great nation dishing it out to those who stand for appeasement and tyranny. We salute our veterans and our brave fighting men and women serving us and our Republic under the able leadership of our Commander-in-Chief, President George W. Bush. "Rock of the Marne" and FReep on!!!

Have to keep it short, as few words as possible. Otherwise it can't be read unless you're 5 feet away.

Markers are for amateurs, real protesters use poater paint abd a foam brush. For a normal sized posterboard (22" by 28"), use that half inch or maybe one inch wide brush. Anything bigger is to big to make letters.

When you paint, put enough pressure on the brush that you drag the foam behind at a 90 degree angle. You may have to do two coats. Dark paint on neon posterboard works best. White on dark needs three or four coats.

A.N.S.W.E.R.'s Anti-War, Anti-Racists ARE Anti-Semetic

Though it's an "anti-war rally", their FAVORITE sign is "Fuck Bush", so a little "Guck Fore Then Fry Mumia" might be appropriate, sore losers that they are.
