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 »
Sorry for the late report!
A rainy day for a Rally - but our sheepdogs are resilient and showed great cheer in the pouring rain. Several new faces joined us, and I salute your tenacity. This was a fabulous day all around.
In the photo below, the gentleman in the car displays the dogtags of his son currently serving in Iraq.
Rich details the encounter in his after action report:
So many great things happened today - my favorite was a man named John Regan, who was stopped at the light about 3 cars back, and got out of his car, and walked in the rain to shake our hands on the sidewalk. And he showed us pictures of his HERO son (also named John) who is in Iraq fighting for us. This man was so appreciative, his eyes were filled with tears. In fact, he took his time, and when the light turned green - he stayed with us to talk a little more, he wears his son’s spare dogtags around his neck, he just kept saying, “Thanks for being here - you don’t know what this means to see all you people supporting my son, he’s behind a 50-calibur machine gun in Iraq right now.” And the traffice was behind him and you know what - nobody fussed about it. I think they knew what was going on.
Thank You, John Regan.
Reports of the decline of the CCVM have been greatly exaggerated!
As the remains of a recent snow storm blanketed the city of West Chester, our intrepid band of patriots turned out in good cheer, their smiles melting away the cold. I was pleased to see Frank out in this weather - nothing stops this man! Visitors from the Big Apple made an appearance at our rally, and we look forward to seeing them at future rallies. I want to thank the individual who brought the doughnuts - food is always welcome on our corner. Read the rest of this entry »
The weather on this mid-February Saturday was near perfect. I arrived early to see many new faces among our crowd and recurring favorites! I am ever inspired by the tenacity and commitment of our group - all of you are my rock! Read the rest of this entry »
