Vets for Freedom "Heroes Tour" Kick-off

March 13, 2008 | | Comments (1)

I should've put this up earlier, but things got busy.

Vets for Freedom is kicking off the "National Heroes Tour" in San Diego tomorrow (Friday) to draw attention to their mission as they travel to Washington, DC to meet with legislators ahead of General Petraeus' expected testimony in April. Events will include appearances/speeches by heroes like Bud Day, Marcus Luttrell and David Bellavia, as well as local heroes. There will be a book signing in Pendleton in the morning, then a party on the deck of the Midway Museum at 6:30 p.m., including a parachute team landing and F-18 flyover, and music and food until 10:00 (Hugh Hewitt will be broadcasting from the ship starting at 3:00).

All events are free. Uncle Jimbo of Blackfive and I will be there to cover the news for the blogs.

Hope to see you there!

GOE did a demonstration of support at the Recruiting Office in Times Square that got bombed the previous day. I took the train up from Philadelphia. Great group of people. Rained on and off all day but, they had a party tent without sides set up for us. I can finally say "we played Broadway". We spent the day on that traffic island the Recruiting Office is on. NYPD &FD did a show of support with their cruisers, about 15 went down each side of the island. Cool.
