Why I adore Annoyed White Male:
It was a small thing for me to spend an afternoon should to shoulder with veterans and their families to face down a bunch of America and military-hating Leftists, but I finally got to do something real to show my support.
... because they hate this place so much, they have twice before staged protests against it. They have every right to peaceably do so.
But not today, during a 9/11 memorial. Anyone that would do such a thing is dog shit.
AWM answered the call from the National Gathering of Eagles and stood side by side with them against not only the Code Pinkos, but also the IVAW, World Can’t Wait, Veterans for Peace, Chester County Peace Brigade, Bill Perry’s minions (Winter Soldier testifier) and assorted smaller groups in defense of the Army’s cutting edge recruiting station at Franklin Mills Mall in Northeast Philadelphia.
So I went and stood with dozens of tough old guys who had been in Viet Nam, Korea, Iraq, Afghanistan, and all over the world risking their lives and loosing friends to prevent the dog shit from making it into that center. These were men that had been there. I was not worthy to hold their tattered denim vests. But for a moment I was one of them. I needed to be there, I who had never served as they have, to let them know I'm on their side, now and forever. They shook my hand and welcomed me among them.
The full story, pictures, and video are posted here, don't miss any of it.

AWM is as patriotic as most. He stood shoulder to shoulder with bullet dodgers who appreciated his company. I miss dodging bullets but it may come back some day. I may not need a passport or need to travel far. Freedom isn't free. It has to be defended. Our worst enemies are in America. They spit on me in '68. Now I'm armed and know what to expect.
