September 23 - 26, 2005 Washington, D.C.

FOR ALL ACTIVITIES, PLEASE BRING AMERICAN AND SERVICE FLAGS AND SIGNS BEARING MESSAGES OF SUPPORT FOR AMERICA, OUR TROOPS AND THEIR MISSION FIGHTING THE WAR ON TERRORISM IN IRAQ, AFGHANISTAN AND ELSEWHERE

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 23 - 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. - SUPPORT THE TROOPS RALLY OUTSIDE WALTER REED ARMY MEDICAL CENTER, 7200 GEORGIA AVENUE, N.W., WASHINGTON, D.C. ACROSS FROM THE MAIN GATE, ELDER ST. AND GEORGIA AVE.

Every Friday night for the past five months, members of FreeRepublic.com have held a patriotic gathering in support of our men and women recuperating at Walter Reed. While they believe that ordinarily, demonstrations are out of place at a hospital, they have done so because an antiwar group named Code Pink has been holding antiwar demonstrations at the main gate to Walter Reed on Friday evenings. We believe Code Pink is trying to hurt the morale of our soldiers and their families, so we will be joining the members of FreeRepublic.com in their show of support for our troops and their loved ones.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 24 - 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. - SUPPORT THE TROOPS AND THEIR MISSION RALLY BY DEFENDTHEWHITEHOUSE.ORG, RIGHTMARCH AND PROTEST WARRIOR, IN RESPONSE TO ANTIWAR RALLY ON THE ELLIPSE (LOCATION TBA).

This rally will place participants in close proximity to the antiwar protesters so that the antiwar rallies will not go unanswered by patriotic Americans. Plans for this day are still being formed. You may sign up for a mailing list for information updates on Saturday's events.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 24 - 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. - PATRIOTIC COUNTER-DEMONSTRATION BY DEFENDTHEWHITEHOUSE.ORG, FREEREPUBLIC.COM AND PROTEST WARRIOR ALONG ANTIWAR PARADE ROUTE THROUGH FEDERAL TRIANGLE (EXACT LOCATION TBA.) After the dueling rallies, we will be lining sections of the antiwar march route to show support for America, our troops and their mission fighting the war on terrorism. There will be police lines separating the two groups to ensure the peace.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 24 - TIME TBA - ARRIVAL IN WASHINGTON, D.C. OF MOVE AMERICA FORWARD'S “YOU DON’T SPEAK FOR ME, CINDY!” CROSS-COUNTRY CARAVAN.

This rally is being held to honor military families, their loved ones serving in our armed forces and their mission fighting the war on terrorism in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere around the world. Military family members and those who support them are encouraged to attend to show the nation and the world that they stand firm in their resolve to win the war on terrorism.
