They have a big weekend planned according to Washington Peace Center;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Friday Mar. 18<\/p>\n<p>7-9pm: Walter Reed Vigil at Walter Reed Hospital, 7150 Georgia Avenue, NW (at Horseshoe, between Dahlia and Elder)<\/p>\n<p>A weekly vigil to raise awareness within our community and the media that our injured soldiers are brought to Walter Reed Hospital and we must not forget them. Fund the wounded, not the war! (The right wingers will be out in force so let&#8217;s support!)<\/p>\n<p>The Vigil began in March 2005 following the second anniversary of the invasion and occupation of Iraq, and has continued every Friday evening regardless of rain, sun, snow, ice, or right-wing hooligans. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yeah, and a fearsome group they&#8217;ve been;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/thisainthell\/2517558818\/\" title=\"FReep 044 by jlilyea, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3188\/2517558818_9b12f442f6.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" alt=\"FReep 044\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I guess this will be attended by IVAW, too. This is how they plan on helping the wounded&#8230;by taunting them while they come back from the war.

They will then march the 100 yards to the main gate of Quantico.<\/p>\n<p>The Marines have stated their intention to close the main gate for several hours and expect around 500 protesters.<\/p>\n<p>Construction in the area is going to make parking very tight. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I&#8217;ll be at the Saturday protest in Lafayette Park after I drive back from stumping <a href=\"http:\/\/nygoe.wordpress.com\/2011\/03\/12\/gary-berntsen-comes-out-swinging-for-bellavia-in-ny-26\/\">with DanNy for David Bellavia<\/a>.
