USMC Mom

We stood proud in Brooksville today! (March 19 2008)  - Janice, proud military mom

Today I kept the peace. I wanted to say stuff, but I promised Dee Mills, Gold Star mom, that I would stand Silent to honor our troops.

Code pink and the rest of the Crazies hit our little town of Brooksville today. A few of us moms stood out there with our Support the Troops banners. We were not protesting them; we were not supporting the war, or protesting against it. We were there, with our heads held proud as mothers of United States of America Service Men and Women. We prayed in the parking lot for guidance. I did not go as a Blue Star Representative. I left that shirt at home. I did wear my Army Mom T-Shirt, and my sons "corpsman Doc hat from the Marines" and another pin that said my son is in the Navy. I handed out Army Strong pins to anyone in the group that had an Army member. We marched forward. Just a little band of us mums, against the hate mongers! We were happy to see the Tampa Marine Moms join us.

The protesters said they were there for Peace. What a joke! I they did everything they could possibly do to antagonize us, and get us Fighting. They yelled in our faces, screamed obscenities and called us names. We sung God Bless America and the National Anthem. I can't carry a tune in a bucket, so I hope I hurt their ears. Our police were wonderful. Our Marine Gold Star Mom Dee Mills, was not taking any lip from anyone, and she was attacked verbally again and again. She was out there as our leader and we are darn proud of her. Our police came to our rescue when we were being constantly harassed. We were peaceful, but they were militant. I have never seen such hateful people in my life. There was nothing peaceful about this bunch. They were truly disgusting.

I was honored today to stand beside a bunch of mothers who had children serve, who are serving, or who had children die, to support freedom in America and the world. God bless each and every one of them. They stood proud in Brooksville, Florida today.
