Mike Hall stood beneath a blue popup tent as a man wearing a Hardee's uniform walked up and handed him a bag of food and a cold, perspiring bottle of water.
"My boss told me to deliver this to you," the man said. "We appreciate what you are doing."
Hall, a retired Army veteran who lives in Staunton, joined a former FBI agent on Friday as an armed citizen volunteering his time to protect soldiers at an Armed Forces Career Center at 823 Richmond Ave. He said someone had donated the tent for the men to have shelter while guarding the recruitment center. |

Note to readers.
See story on Pentagon requesting that people not guard the recruiting stations.
I can hardly wait for them to try and enforce that.
To our people in uniform. We will back you 100%. |

TO REMEMBER |
| To have no proud monarch driving over me with his gilt coaches; nor his host of excise-men and tax-gatherers insulting and robbing me; but to be my own master, my own prince and sovereign, gloriously preserving my national dignity, and pursuing my true happiness; planting my vineyards, and eating their luscious fruits; and sowing my fields, and reaping the golden grain: and seeing millions of brothers all around me, equally free and happy as myself. This, sir, is what I long for. -- General Francis Marion, American War of Independence, Georgetown, SC [Source: 'Marion, The Life of Gen. Francis Marion' by M. L. Weems, Ch.18] |
