We also get quite a few honks and waves from motorists. Given that we've been doing this for two years, and most people take the same route to and from work, people know they're going to encounter us when driving along Georgia Avenue on Friday nights.

The moonbats get a few honks too, but I have to think that much of this is from people who think they're another group of pro-troops supporters. Code Pink has learned to bring along an American flag (note the singular) which I think is what fools them. Most of the time we put up our "Burma-Shave" signs to educate the public.

At any rate, motorists and passers-by cannot help but to notice our many flags

Nothing singlular here about the American flag!

We also have several flags of our allies; those of the UK, ROK, and Australia fly proudly beside Old Glory.

The weather took a turn for the worse with near-freezing temperatures. Given that it was almost 80 earlier that week it seemed colder than it was. tgslTakoma has got her parka on and hood all the way up

The reports were that a front might move in with wind, and possibly snow, so we decided against putting up the MOAB.

Albion Wilde, however, had a new sign she made that she brought with her. Given the political situation, I thought it very appropriate. Thank you, Albion!

Here's Albion setting up another of her signs

Speaking of the full-moon-it-should-have-been, we had a "debater" try and engage us. He was shouting all sorts of crazy stuff. Fraxinus, TFroatz, and Tolerance Sucks Rocks were chanting "Swim To Cuba" at him but as this guy seemed really nuts we eventally decided to leave him alone.

Here's one more shot of the Easter Bunny from Hell with some of his(?) buddies. Cute peace sign, huh? Usually I don't waste so much time with the moonbats but these photos are just too good

There were only about 8 of them total. What a pathetic showing!

Back to the Patriots

Ok, enough of those fools. Here is myself, Tom the Redhunter, Kristinn, and TFroatz at the main entrance

Across the street were Tolerance Sucks Rocks, the made debater I mentioned earlier, VA FlagWaver, and Fraxinus.. The guy crossing the street at left is just a pedestrian.

What It's All About

Probably because of the Easter holiday, they didn't send a bus of troopers and their families out to a restaurant this time. Our experience is that on holiday weekends families tend to take their sons and daughters out on their own, and so there are not as many around for such a trip. They also have special events on base for holiday weekends.

But as with most nights buses with wounded troopers, sometimes with their families too, come and go from the main entrance. Here's one that came by this evening
