It’s been a bad week for getting to events.<\/p>\n

Monday, I wasn’t able to get to see Dennis Prager at the Northland.\u00a0 King has the repor<\/a>t.<\/p>\n

Last night, prior commitments prevented me from getting to the Vets for Freedom event at the Fort Snelling O Club.<\/p>\n

Ed was there<\/a>, of course:<\/p>\n

The VFF had already scheduled an event for tonight at the Fort Snelling Officers Club, but the event got a lot more publicity from the fiasco in Forest Lake. Fortunately, that\u2019s only about ten minutes away from my home, and another meeting we had tonight got postponed. I went to the club expecting to see a few dozen people in a hastily-arranged setting. Instead, I found around 150 or so people crammed into a standing-room only venue. The crowd had to spill out into the foyer, the bar, and two auxiliary rooms to contain all of the Minnesotans who dropped everything to support the VFF speakers.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I had something I couldn’t drop – so it’s a good thing Ed brought his camera.\u00a0 He’ll be interviewing…:<\/p>\n

Pete Hegseth [he’s been a NARN guest], Jeremiah Workman [from Blackfive], David Bellavia [author of House to House, <\/em>which is the best book I’ve ever read about life as a grunt infantryman, bar none; he’s also been a NARN guest], and Tim Parks. I got video of Hegseth and Bellavia, as well as John Kline\u2019s address to the group. I\u2019ll be posting each separately tomorrow \u2014 and I hope it will prompt people to visit the VFF site and support the group.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
