Bravo For Bravo Company

March 25, 2005

The decidely liberal, quaint, Northwest college town of Corvallis, Oregon was today expected to heartily welcome home Bravo Company, a locally-based National Guard unit that has finished a year-long tour in Iraq, as part of the U.S. Army's 2nd Battalion, 162nd Infantry, out of Fort Lewis, Washington.

Let's hope they got a warm and sizeable reception this afternoon. I'd like to see a similar event within the city limits of Seattle sometime. That'd sure be something, considering some of the recent and despicable outbursts here against the military, such as this, and this. Quite apart from moderates and even Iraq war opponents who still manage a classy demeanor with regard to the military (let's give credit where due, please); there are also a fair number of conservatives here in Blue Seattle. Many obviously support the Iraq effort, some don't.

Seattle's center-right standard bearers have been a bit scared to show their colors in recent years, especially with feelings running so strong. But that's starting to change.

Re "But that's starting to change." Man does the blogger bash look like fun! Maybe I could attend one as an ex-pat Washington blogger. What a collection of talent in one place. -Spin

Let us know when you're gonna be up around here, Spin, I'll organize a smaller-scale blogger "do" and cook up some NC "que" (with the thin, tart NC red "que" sauce, not that icky Texas, sweet, pasty stuff). Serious!

Matt, would you like to "talk up" this idea on radio over the next few days? I think it is an excellent idea - and would be happy to place that. What say you, old chap?
