The Rally for the Troops, Rally for America being organized by Citizens United and Young America's Foundation in Washington, D.C. from noon to 3 p.m. on Saturday, April 12 has been moved to a location away from the anti-war rally and march being held by C.A.N.S.W.E.R. the same day and time.
The support our troops rally, co-sponsored by the D.C. Chapter of Free Republic, will now be held on the Mall between 3rd and 4th Streets, NW. This area of the Mall is also between the Capitol and the Air & Space museums.
The nearest Metro stations are Federal Center, L'Enfant Plaza, Smithsonian, Judiciary Square and Archives/Navy Memorial. A little further away are Union Station, Federal Triangle, and Capitol South.
Those driving to D.C. from out of state might do well to utilize the parking lots at the outlying Metro stations just off the interstates as you approach the Beltway.
Street and pay lots/garages are available in town. Come early for the best spots as this is one of the busiest tourist times with the cherry blossoms in bloom.

Those attending are asked to bring American flags, large and small and signs bearing messages supporting our troops and the U.S.A. Citizens United also is asking for people to bring: "Donations for the troops. If you would like to bring something, they are asking for: baby wipes, sunscreen, lip balm, pre-paid international calling cards, and letters of support."
For more information about the rally and Citizens United, click the source link above.
Along with other co-sponsors of the rally, the D.C. Chapter will have a booth or table there. Stop by and say hello.
Headlining the rally will be G. Gordon Liddy and country music star Aaron Tippin. From the announcement, "There will also be a special video presentation for the troops featuring country music legends Toby Keith, Travis Tritt, the Charlie Daniels Band and Ben Stein of Comedy Central."
Please make the extra effort to come out for this one. The tide has shifted against the so-called "anti-war" movement, but they did have an effect on troop morale. It's important that those who support the troops and their mission make a loud public statement in our nation's capital. Our troops have given their all for us, the least we can do is give up an afternoon to stand up for them.

Since you can't come to the rally yourself, do you want us to pass out more of your stickers? They were a big hit at the March 23 Patriots Rally for America V.

Question? Do you think the Cherry Blossoms will still be out?
Have been there hundreds of times but never when they are in full bloom.

Hi. I'm also heading down from the Northern NJ area. Do you know if any groups are getting together in this area and making the trip together?

Cherry blossoms will likely be gone because of all the rain we are getting today. :-(

They won't be in full bloom but I think they'll be in pretty good bloom. Weekends are tough for seeing the Blossoms with the crowds and all.
