You can view more of his remarkable work HERE. The magnificent NeoCon was not present at our rally as he was deployed to an undisclosed location this weekend.
It was good to stand on the corner in West Chester today. After the successful participation in TWO parades yesterday, the Sheepdogs were in high spirits. We also debuted our new banner boldly advertising our commitment and our support of the troops. We were happy to see Joe Dohety, who stood with us on Flag Day and returned to stand with us today. He brought his friend, Diane, who was proud to stand with the Sheepdogs in support of our troops.
As we embark upon our 11th month standing in support of our troops, there is tangible evidence that our dedication and respectful rallies are making a difference. Letters from our troops keep pouring into Rich’s email letting him know how thankful and encouraged they are seeing us stand up for them every week in West Chester. Our opposition takes a different tact - but they support the troops - don’t you know - and their email box remains empty.
A sunny day greeted this merry band of patriots. We had an outstanding showing, with a new face from the Knights of Columbus. The flags and signs were greeted with numerous honks from passing cars. As we continue to stand on the corner of West Chester, the honking and thumbs up increases from the motorists. It is such a great response from the public, which thrills our supporters and annoys our detractors.
Ah, life is sweet in West Chester - thanks to all the Sheepdogs who steadfastly stand in support of our troops and our Nation.
Myself and two brilliantly talented individuals have crafted the video below which has been entered into the RNC Convention Video contest:
Absolutely fabulous turnout for the West Chester Flag Day Rally! At least 150-200 patriots celebrated Flag Day with the Sheepdogs!
We were lauded by State Representative Curt Schroder, who presented to the Chester County Victory Movement a U.S. Flag and a State Flag. His speech after the presentation should be required listening across America.
Two notable bloggers attended as well - Thus Spake Ortner from The Sniper and Jonn Lilyea from This Ain’t Hell. Both have written concise and illuminating blog posts on their experience in West Chester, Pa.

A quick post to share with the readers at Flopping Aces:
The West Chester Victory Movement has an article written about them in today’s edition of the Wall Street Journal:
Protesting the Anti-War Protestors
I’ve more to say on this, however, I have to leave now or I won’t get to this week’s rally on-time.
Stay Tuned Folks!

I was also present a week later at the Chester County Courthouse, as the all peace protesters intermixed with us, and heard the statements Tony refers to in this remarkable letter to the editor:
Victim displays class over incident :
I read your account of the court’s decision in the attack by one of Karen Porter’s “peace” supporters with great interest. The day after the incident I viewed a video on the victim’s Web site. What one attorney who wrote a letter to the Daily Local observed and what the court has clearly stated from the facts of the incident are clearly at odds with Karen Porter’s rendition and the actual video I observed.
The week following the incident I heard Karen Porter addressing her “troops” on the courthouse steps. From her comments you would have thought the young woman had attacked the perpetrator. It’s hard for me to imagine that Karen Porter is an attorney … her comments about this incident have no basis in the facts of the case. But then again a lot of what Ms. Porter says about many issues, has no basis in fact.
It’s nice to see that justice was served in this case. It’s also worthy to note that the young woman from the Victory Movement, could have sought more aggressive recompense. But as is typical of the folks on that side of the street, she settled for a formal apology … classy lady.

A fresh spring day greeted the gathering of Sheepdogs for our weekly pro victory/pro troop rally. Our side presented an inspiring sight on the Swope corner - flags, signs and smiles all around. This was reflected in the numerous honks and waves from passing cars during our rally. Each week we send a message of hope (no, not the Obamized version) to the public and pray it will catch fire elsewhere on another little corner on Main Street, USA.
Come Join Us!
Every Saturday 10:45 - 12:45
A raw spring day greeted our merry band of victory vigilers as we entered into our 9th month of weekly rallies. 9 MONTHS! How time has flown by. It won’t be long until we will celebrate our one year anniversary. Our side was treated with numerous honks, thumbs up and appreciative cheers from a group of Marines who happened to drive by - see photo below.

Today, a new sun rises over our merry band; everything about today invites one to cherish this weekly event in West Chester, Pa.
There could not have been a more perfect day for our Pro Troop/Pro Victory rally. Our presence on the Courthouse Corner was appreciated by the numerous honks of passing cars. How sweet it is!
We had a delightful treat after our moment of prayer. A female student of one of our regular attendees sweetly and publicly asked her boyfriend if he would like to attend her high school prom. Of course, he was quick to say YES!
Hello NOW….This is what ‘progressive’ looks like!

A soldier on his way to Iraq decides to spend his last day in the States with our merry band. This action speaks volumes on how our soldiers really feel about the ’support’ shown by the Chester County Peace Movement and their ilk. Read the rest of this entry »
A beautiful day for a rally, one that ended in peace and harmony. Today, I saw many new faces mixed with old friends on the steps of the Courthouse and it was an astounding display. I look forward to many more Saturday’s spent in your company.
I want to take the opportunity give a big THANK YOU to those who took the time to email, leave comments or who stood with me today in West Chester. Those of you who worked tirelessly to get the message out - your support meant the world to me this past week.
Motoring south to DC , I wasn’t sure what to expect this past weekend outside of meeting Sunlitknight, Snooper and Paul Couturier. Between the three of us, we planned to cover the IVAW events and the pro-troop rally sponsored by Eagles Up, Move America Forward, and Gathering of Eagles. My work schedule only permitted time for me to follow the Pro Troop rally in DC. Read the rest of this entry »
