I think there will be lot's of plans for Armed Forces Day, I know we are planning something her in LA!

Boy, just can't keep up with all these "support the troops" rallies! Ain't it great!

Is this just a one time event in DC? Is so, it may be best for the DC Chapter to hook up woth them.

Nowwww people want to do rallies. Sheesh. At least it'll probably be nice weather, LOL. I'm sure we'll be there in one way or another. Right now we're concentrating on the Support the Troops Rally by Citizens United this Saturday, April 12 from noon to 3 p.m. on the Mall in D.C. between 3rd and 4th St., NW.
