People drive across state to celebrate military BY AMANDA HICKEY January 26, 2008 - 10:41PM DAILY NEWS STAFF More than 250 people gathered with U.S. flags and signs showing their support for the military in front of Wal-Mart by U.S. 17 and Western Boulevard on Saturday.

Church group draws counterprotest Law enforcment prevents physical interaction BY HEATHER GALE January 26, 2008 - 7:24PM DAILY NEWS STAFFFive people versus 40. The notorious protesting church, Westboro Baptist Church, turned out five women, — two older and three who appeared to be in their late teens or early twenties — to express their viewpoints about the Marine Corps and the circumstances surrounding the death of Lance Cpl. Maria Lauterbach. However, more than 40 counterprotesters were across the street from the church members on Lejeune Boulevard, holding signs and supporting the military. Many of the supporters of the troops said...

Would Network Air Comedian’s Troop Shows Today?NBC sank to a new low last week when it rejected ads thanking American troops for their sacrifice and offering them Christmas greetings. A network official deemed the spots produced by Freedom’s Watch, a pro-troop organization to be “too political.” The ensuing backlash from patriotic Americans convinced an adult at NBC to reverse the decision after a few days. The controversy underscored the liberal bias of the Old Media that can no longer be hidden or denied. The mindset that perceives a message of gratitude and support for American troops as "too political" defies...

United States Marine Corps Sergeant Craig Breiner (inactive reserve) will once again be marching across the state of New Jersey to raise the morale of our troops serving abroad. This time though, he’s put money where his feet are. Breiner will be raising funds for the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund with every step he takes. “The last march (in January 2007) was such a success and there was so much positive feedback that we decided to do it again,” Breiner explained. “Only this time my family and I wanted to make the impact tangible. What better way to do that...

WASHINGTON, DC, Feb. 3, 2006—Last week's FReep was the third in our newly captured territory—all four corners of Walter Reed Army hospital's main gate—the DC Chapter having outsmarted Code Pink in mid-January, when after 40 weeks of counterprostests, the DC Chapters of FreeRepublic and Protest Warrior finally drove the Pinko womyn and associated quislings away from the gates. Our side, supporters of the troops and the mission outnumbered by three-to-one the pitiful remnants of Code Pink's newly-relocated "vigil" 'way down the block—they are out of our brave heroes' faces now! What's even better is that many more wounded troops and...

MY LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dear _______________, Recently, President George W Bush went on the offensive against critics of the Iraq war. He called out anti-war pessimists and Democrats who call for a pull out from Iraq. The task we are facing is one that will test and define our nation. Already anti-war protestors have jumped off the bandwagon, and have begun taking an axe to the wheels. The troops fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan deserve to know that the politicians who sent them to war stand behind them. By that I mean they do not give them words of...

NEW YORK (Nov. 20, 1776) – The grieving mother of an American soldier killed in action during the recent failed defense of Fort Washington is demanding an audience with Gen.

The group held aloft homemade placards reading “No Blood For Representation,”...
