For those of you that attended - God Bless You and Thank You!
I know that Scott Conover, the Blue Star Moms, the Lafayette Flag Brigade and others that have sons and daughters in the Armed Forces were glad to have the company and meet you all. As long as we continue to counter these ignorant appeasists and shout down their message and counter them where they meet as we did here and do on other occasions, then the voice of freedom will be heard.
Following is a collection of photos and also an audio slideshow taken by the Contra Costa Times - very nice photos actually - that I think captured the spirit and emotion on both sides. Enjoy…

Good guys in the foreground. Don’t be fooled by the large flag, these lefties (background) dusted one off that I believe had 48 stars. It dragged on the ground most of the time they held it…and was filthy. Remember this was a first in many respects - Liberals are putting crosses up, signing hyms, and holding the American Flag! Is there hope? Don’t count on it.

(From the Contra Costa Times) -
Things got more heated in Lafayette, where an evening vigil to remember war dead attracted at least 350 war protesters and supporters who verbally sparred at the hillside of crosses that has become a symbol for the country’s divided views.
Both sides tried to drown the other out, with supporters of the Iraq mission hollering “Shame on you” and protesters countering with “Shame on Bush.”
“Thank God for those men and women who are willing to put it on the line,” said Lafayette resident Charles Haig to cross supporters. Haig’s son, David, is serving in Iraq.
Cross organizer Jeff Heaton, who stepped up to a microphone amid shouts of “traitor,” said soldiers’ deaths “will not be in vain if we see to it that their deaths and injuries inspire us to change the course of history.”

Jeff Heaton is a TRAITOR. He organized this “monument” “Art Form” or whatever the hell it is, the name and purpose seems to change everytime an associate Liberal is interviewed. Mostly to keep the heat off. These scum-sucking Libs are opportunists, I mean think of it; Liberals here are ERECTING crosses when they spend most of their waking moments trying the get a cross taken down via the ACLU or some court action. They are also all sensitive and concerned about the troops and bringing them home alive. Like hell! If sensitivity for the troops gets them sypathizers then they will do it - with clenched teeth no doubt. They also get articulate, clean and bright (like Obama) speakers from MoveOn.org such as they had last night speaking. For the most part the radicals that make up that group are not the well spoken articulate person that I heard at one time last night from MoveOn. He’s a front person.
Look, even the extreme left knows how to play the media and try to shift public opinion. The ONLY reason they are doing this is to get attention. Just like putting the names on the crosses. They know it will inflame and draw attention to their cause, they leave them up there until the heat is too great and public opinion sees them as cold-hearted and insensitive to the service families. Now they’re taking them down (except for the handful of families who are on their side). The flags are another thing as well as the hym-singing. They’ll do that in front of the cameras then light up a bowl full of dope in private. It’s not that amazing that they know the words since they were most probably raised in a good home and have just never stopped rebelling and grown up.
They’re ignorant of the dangers of Muslim radicalism and they’re willing to take the chance that everyone will just get along if we talk long enough with them. I, for one am not willing to take that chance for my family or my country.
Traitors…
