Fragsitrep from DC

Just talked to llen lambert. He was in the VHPA parade in DC and the details are fragmentary. He said it got interesting and is not sure of the details but it went something like this. A bunch of relegious nuts (the same ones who interrupt funerals?) got to yelling at the VHPA paraders and telling them they were going to hell and yelling at them. Then some old hippies started yelling (less than 100 all together he estimates). Allen believes it was some guys from the 1/9th cav that led the attack on the relegious protesters and several guys were required to pull the 1/9th guys off. Then the anti war protesters started chanting "no more Vietnams" and the VHPA started singing "God Bless America" and drowned them out, then the crowd joined in the singing with the VHPA It all did not "Last long but sure was exciting".
This was Lamberts first reunion and he said "it's just like old times. They're standing on the street yelling and spitting at us! Welcome home"
In the future I will buy any 1/9th guy a drink for that attack and if it was Rocket Rochet (the description sounds like him)who led the charge I'll buy him a case. Good on ya VHPA! Lambert said TV cameras were all around but I'll bet a dollar you won't see one damned bit of it on TV! if anyone has clearer details please post them soon.
God Bless America!
