(Camp Casey) PICS - The Arlington South Barricade

[derby378]

Fact: Some anti-peace demonstrators at the Move America Forward demonstration in Crawford were encouraged to start uprooting crosses at the Arlington South memorial at Camp Casey on Saturday the 27th.

Fact: Arlington South is on private property, as is Camp Casey, which means unauthorized removal of the crosses can be considered criminal tresspassing.

Fact: We'd rather not have a confrontation with MAF protestors trying to remove crosses from Arlington West. Besides...

Fact: No soldier who died in Iraq or Afghanistan is the private property of any family, clan, organization, or political party. We oppose the occupation of Iraq, but those who died in the Middle East did so because they were representing us.

Therefore, we erected a barrier to keep the anti-peace activists out of Arlington South and let the peace demonstrators in. Here's some pics of the barrier:





And a couple of protestors who were willing to "stand in the gap:"



I'll try to post more pics later. Enjoy!

5. I swear I saw a website with the barrier pic yesterday

but they captioned it to read that it was the Pro-War protesters. Anyone else see this? I don't rember the site.

"Casey knew that the war was wrong from the beginning. But he felt it was his duty to go, that his buddies were going, and that he had no choice. The people who send our young, honorable, brave soldiers to die in this war, have no skin in the game. They don't have any loved ones in harm's way. As for people like O'Reilly and Hannity and Michelle Malkin and Rush Limbaugh and all the others who are attacking me and parroting the administration line that we must complete the mission there – they don't have one thing at stake. They don't suffer through sleepless nights worrying about their loved ones."

Peace to all of you - and to Cindy and the other Gold Star Families.

Her vigil at Crawford is nearing its end. We will surely miss her.
