Counterdemonstrators were few compared with anti-war protesters yesterday, but they made their sentiments known at the U.S. Marine barracks.
By midafternoon, anti-war protesters were about two-thirds of the way through their march from the National Mall to the Navy Yard in Southeast when they met 80 counterdemonstrators outside the barracks at Eighth and I streets SE. The counterdemonstrators waved American flags and signs, some of which read "If you must burn our flag, wrap yourself in it first" and "What Would You Have Done on Flight 93? Free Iraq Now."

BRAVO once again to the DC Chapter for bravely countering the brainwashed & unwashed mob yesterday! Thank you also to Bob Dornan, Curtis Sliwa and his Guardian Angels, Veterans and other counter-protesters.
I'm sorry we could not join you, but we were already committed to a Washington DC trip for CPAC - we were unable to make the long trip twice in one month.
THANK YOU, Patriots... nutmeg & zelig
