SUPPORT OUR TROOPS: PATRIOTS RALLY FOR AMERICA III, SATURDAY, JANUARY 18, 2003 IN WASHINGTON, D.C.
D.C. Chapter ^ | Friday, January 3, 2003 | Kristinn

Posted on 01/02/2003 9:10:08 PM PST by kristinn

The D.C. Chapter of Free Republic and MOVE-OUT! (Marines and Other Veterans Engaging Outrageous Un-American Traitors!) call all FReepers and lurkers in good standing, veterans and other patriotic Americans to join us in our nation's capital on Saturday, January 18, 2003 to show support for the men and women serving in our Armed Forces, and our Commander-in-Chief, as they continue to fight the war on terrorism and gear up to defend us against out-law regimes like Iraq and North Korea.

The enemy will be taking the field that day in D.C. with an "anti-war" protest organized by the communist front group IAC-A.N.S.W.E.R. with a rally at the Capitol (3rd Street on the Mall) and a march past the Marine Barracks at 8th and I Streets, SE, that finishes at the Washington Navy Yard, 8th and M Streets, SE. Mapquest Link.

Our purpose in gathering is to offer a peaceful, patriotic counter-point to the anti-American leftists who will be spewing their hatred and venom against what they call "America's war machine"--and what we call "the defenders of freedom."

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.

We are asking folks to bring American and Gadsden flags, large and small, and their service colors. Also bring signs with messages supporting our troops and America.

As always, the D.C. Chapter's rules for demonstrating will be in effect: No violence, no racism, no profanity, no threats, no provocations, obey the law and treat all law enforcement officers with respect.

We expect the leftists to be peaceful, however there are always a few yahoos who like to stir up trouble. Let the law enforcement officers take care of them. They are experts at crowd control and are there to ensure that everyone's rights are respected.

More details will be announced in the days ahead. We are awaiting approval for our permit at Constitution Gardens, which should come in a few days.

Here is a link to the thread on FR's USO Canteen with the e-mail message from MOVE-OUT!

Got this from Snow Bunny via email a couple of weeks ago. Sent it to every Vets List in my arsenal. Hoping against hope for a HUGE turnout.
Wish you were going, Tonkin. It would be an honor.

Still had the clintonista creeps then, cold chills, nausea, and all that.
The world has turned since then, Fred. I still hate the bast*rds, but I don't fear them anymore.

Thanx for the ping, Tonk. You know I'm dying to go, don't you? :-)) It's not looking too good at this point but I haven't given up hope yet. Maybe, just maybe something will work out. If not, my thoughts will certainly be on the event that day.

God bless our troops and vets!!

Thanks, Tonk.

I love that sculpture. To have gone there with my daughter before returning to Vietnam in 2000, indeed set that groundwork well. (Not least that my Dad's buried at Arlington, and how impressed my daughter was that I seemed to know nearly everyone! so interred.)

Sorry we can't be there in DC this time around, though always are in spirit.

Always, Welcome Home!
