One of my readers - the (currently) blogless Chuck - sent me a report from the Coast Guard graduation attended by President Bush on May 23rd. I thought it'd be appropriate.

There were about 100 Eagles, Patriot Guard Riders, Rolling Thunder, American Legion Riders and Vets and family supporters on our side of the road.

On the other side, not one American flag in their midst, contrary to their professing their troop support. While our side of the road was a sea of Red, White, and Blue. A sight to behold. Almost all of the attending guests honked their horns for us, gave us thumbs up, or waved American flags out their windows as they drove by.

After the first 3 hours the moonbats finally produce an American flag after we chastised them for their "SO CALLED SUPPORT" (heh).

One young girl, maybe 10 or 11, was holding a hand made sign that said "BUSH IS SCUM". She was encouraged by her mother to keep displaying the sign.

While the rally was in progress, some of the college students took pink chalk and defaced the monument in front of the academy that states "COAST GUARD ACADEMY". They drew a peace sign on one side and on the other wrote "resist empire". I think they were trying to write "resist imperialism" but they couldn't figure out how to spell "imperialism" (LOL).

As is obvious, even to the most casual observer, we were indeed outnumbered, but just from looking at the photos there is no doubt about who "SUPPORTS OUR TROOPS".

Here are the pics: The first two are from a small rally in New Haven, CT, in a park called The Green, one is of the "MOTHERS FOR PEACE" group the other is GOE. Not one American flag but a whole lot of "cut and run" signs on their side.

The rest are from the US Coast Guard Academy. Can you tell who the supporters were? LOL.

Don'tcha just love the defacing job?

After the rally, one of our Eaglettes took her bottle of water and a napkin and washed off the chalk. We couldn't leave it looking like that for the new graduating officers to see on their way out of the Academy. IT JUST WOULDN'T A BEEN RIGHT!

One thing I noticed and I'm sure others did as well, that the State Police, The New London Police and the Coast Guard Security people that stood in the center of the road always faced the moonbats with their backs to us. My take on this is they knew that if there was trouble, it would come from their side, and the Eagles and supporters would watch their backs. I don't know about you, but that made me pretty damn proud.

Thanks, Chuck.
