The domestic insurgents have been protesting outside the West Point graduation ceremonies for years. They line West Point Highway with flag draped coffins and banners with disgustingly negative messages to demoralize our graduates and their families. The families of these graduates already have a high anxiety level with their children embarking on a military career in a time of war. The additional stress is unwelcome and unwanted. For the third year we will provid a counterpoint to the insurgents. We will hold flags and signs of encouragement for the graduates, our troops and their families.
Our efforts are greatly appreciated.
This Saturday, May 23rd, we ask all who are able to come join us in a show of solidarity and support for our new graduates and their families. We have no prior knowledge of protester activity, but they have been consistent in their protest activity there for so long that it is expected they will be there. What: Support Our Graduates and their Families Rally Where: Memorial Park, Mill Street and West Point Highway, Highland Falls, NY Maplink: http://tinyurl.com/4j863x When: Saturday, May 23, 2009, 7am to 1pm
The early start time is to avoid traffic congestion with family and visitors arriving for the ceremony. (wear your seatbelt! I got a ticket at the first one...actually 2 tickets, one for me and one for my son at a checkpoint just before the rally point. :) Kathy)
