The birth of our nation. A celebration of freedom. And it has been one year since this operation began. Our unit has stood our ground, and now it is time to take new ground, a full on take over of the hippies' territory.
We get a permit from the city of Dunedin to reserve the picnic shelter at Camp Edgewater. The hippies have made the stretch of territory in front of the picnic shelter their last stand, so we've got to be strong. The usual TOD (time of day) for the fire fight is 1630 hours (4:30 PM). We began operations at 1300 hours (1:00 PM). The smoker and the grill are set up. The ribs are on (pork, of course... in honor of our vegan and Muslim extremist "friends"). The enemy begins to arrive.
I had a camera, but even the best photographer in the world could not capture the priceless look on the faces of our nemeses as they arrived to find a sea of red white and blue, and US, in their spot!
Pictures from this event can be found on our main blog page here.

Excellent story, Captain! I live in Tennessee and so am unable to attend the weekly gatherings. I did make it down for two in December and it was a great time! It was amazing to watch the passersby as they honked and waved. So many people honked and waved in support of OPOY and its message, I was blown away! Who would have thought in such a "crunchy" town (the hippies' word. . . what does it mean, anyway?) that there would be so many people supporting our troops and the war? And Danny "War is...!" is truly a piece of work!
I can't wait to get back into the trenches!
Thanks, Rob! Your support is invaluable. Look forward to seeing you in the trenches again! The Cap
