Family Remarks: The photo on
our sign is our son, LCpl Christopher C. Raschke, HQ Btry, 5 BN, 11th
Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division. Based on reports from
Lindsay Murdoch, an embedded reporter from the Sydney Morning Herald (www.smh.com.au),
with Chris' unit, they are in the Najaf area.
Chris has an administrative MOS, however
when on field exercises or deployed he serves as the driver (of a Humvee)
for the battalion XO, Major Lewis. Chris believes in the rightness
of the cause. I trust that he remembers General Patton's
philosophy. The objective is not to die for your country but to
have the enemy die for his!
Godspeed and God's Grace on Our Marines and
all Our Forces in Harm's Way!

Our new friends Dennis and
Nancy joined up with the Sacramento to San Francisco Caravan at
the Vallejo rest stop. We look forward to their becoming
members of the network and sharing their thoughts about this
week's experience. Welcome aboard!
PDN Team Leader Mike
Sarkisian met up his brother Stephen of Daly City to enjoy the afternoon.
Mike was another member of the Caravan that rolled in from
Sacramento.
Here's two more of our best San
Francisco PDN buds Alexis (left) and Cinnamon (right) with the
legendary Kfir of ProtestWarrior fame. (See our Links

Here's one sign you will NEVER
see at a peaceful Anti-Everything protest rally. Appreciation is a
2-way street at Rally for America and Support the Troops events.
This useful idiot screamed
"Those people are all racists... they ought to be
arrested" as he was being gently escorted to the rear of the
rally. "Gee pal... did you even look at the distinguished
people who spoke at this rally, let alone the diversity of those
gathered to listen and cheer?
A handful of Anti-Everything
folks were on hand to liven things up for two or three
minutes. One word from Alfredo and PDN's Dave Jenest, and
our folks went back to paying tribute to our troops and their
families. Left to their own devices, all they had was a few
media people to yell at. The demeanor of the SFPD officers
pretty much show what a threat our ranks were considered.
