After receiving and posting an e-mail from an active-duty career officer at the Pentagon regarding the demoralizing effects of walking past anti-military moonbats every day, I had hoped that a few readers in the DC area could put together a small demonstration of support. I'd hoped that even a few people could help keep spirits high among those working tirelessly for our security and freedom.

Am I happy to tell you how wrong I was to set my expectations so low!

Thanks to Pierre at the Pink Flamingo Bar & Grill blog and Kfir Alia at Protest Warrior, we may have started something that will not only perk up the people entering the Metro gate at the Pentagon but will show DC and the media just how much support America has for its fighting men and women. Kfir e-mailed me today with the good news:

Operation Pentagon Patriots … is a go!

Here’s the operation description:

“Word is out that we have a group of angry lefties attacking our brave service men and women of the Pentagon at the Metro Station entrance. It is vital that ProtestWarriors are out there to show support for the job these men and women are doing everyday. Ever since 9/11 this special group of individuals have been working around the clock defending our way of life. The least we can do is get out there to show our support and say ‘Thank You’ for what they are doing. The libs have been out there every Monday morning, and we have been asked to come out and show them who’s boss in this town.

So let’s meet at the Pentagon Metro station at 6:30 in the morning. Just show up before you head off to work or school (bring a Thank-You type support sign if possible) and let the true freedom fighters of our Republic know that the American people support their mission.”

If you can be in the DC area on Monday morning to attend the rally, go to Protest Warrior's site to join the DC chapter. If you've already joined the DC chapter, use this link to get the necessary information to sign up for this demonstration of support. It's important to work through Protest Warrior to make this demonstration a success. You don't have to join, but contact Josiah, the chapter leader, to let him know you're attending and to get the relevant information. They have the experience necessary to maintain message discipline and to ensure that everyone has a good, safe morning.

Big thanks to Kfir and Pierre (and Josiah!) for jumping up and taking this project from wish to reality. I'm hoping that CQ readers can send me a few pictures of the rally so I can post them here.
