Is there a current up-date?
Kristinn, me and BillF stood on Georgia Avenue, first at the entrance to Walter Reed - across the driveway from a clutch of leftist-supporters wearing black and flaunting black wreaths.
And of course, the media was out there in droves, to cover the leftist blood dance.
The leftist photo-op was being set up halfway down the block - they set up a podium with amplified sound, in a hospital zone where our soldiers are trying to heal wounds.
The three of us walked silently down the sidewalk to the back of their gathering, and then we stood away from them, in the street between parked cars, and we held our signs in silent witness to their exploitation of our wounded and dead soldiers.
Kristinn's two-sided sign sign read: s1) Leave Our Wounded Alone, and s2) God Bless Our Troops
My two-sided sign read: s1) Leftists Exploit Military K.I.A. For Blood Dance, and s2) U.S. Troops -Mission IS Just & Good. God Bless Them.
BillF had several signs, but he'll have to tell you what they said, as I was preoccupied by the activities swirling around us.
I did have one self-described socialist peace protester who kept stalking me, trying to make me listen to his rant. I finally picked up my things and tried to walk away from him and he blocked my way, shoving me repeatedly. I tried to turn right and he pushed his guitar case into me, again blocking me. I turned the other way (towards the street) and he pushed into me again, placing his hands on me and shoving me backwards into traffic. I raised my voice very loud and called out for him to stop shoving me and to let me pass. Camera crews swarmed over to where we were and he continued to bodily block my passage down the street and shoved me several more times, with cameras rolling. It will be interesting to see if any of that makes it to broadcast.
I'll post more later but right now I have to inhale a sandwich and hit the road for round two, with Angelwood, BillF and Kristinn (if he can get away from work again).
Wish us well fellas (and pray that there is no more left-wing violence and intimidation).
