I want to give everyone an update who was concerned about the anti war protesters storming and shutting down the Army experience center in Franklin Mills on Saturday.
They were not successful as myself and a lot of my military buddies were there as well as about 150 bikers stood in front of the store along with the Philadelphia police to stop them.
They stormed through the Red Door area but could not get into the center. I stood there in front with my fatigue pants and 101st Airborne Division Screaming Eagle shirt on along with other airborne and military friends to include the bikers screaming at them and they were screaming at us.
I don't do this with protesters because that is a right within our country but these protesters are the ones who threw frozen beer cans at the disabled vets in a bus at Walter Reed hospital. Some of the vets had no arms and could not defend themselves. They are hard core and well organized with lawyers and photographers in the crown. I felt they would have destroyed the center and hurt the people inside so I felt I needed to be there.
Seven of them got locked up as they refused police orders to move.
As I was walking to my car to go to the 5:00 pm mass at St. Martha's four of them were walking towards me and staring but fortunately for them their jaws are still intact as they were just walking to their car. They would have thought they were at the Battle of Bastogne if they messed with me.
