19 Mar 2008 Kevin Martin Puts Pink “Marine” in His Place

From David Almasi:

Today is the 5th anniversary of the beginning of America’s liberation of Iraq in the larger Global War on Terrorism. Anti-war activists are operating throughout the Washington, D.C. area – blocking traffic, blockading buildings and making mischief all over. Project 21 member Kevin L. Martin is trying to help keep things civil outside of the military recruiting office on L Street NW, the site of an attack by left-wing protestors in April.

This past Saturday, Kevin took part in a press conference organized by Move America Forward about the campaign of violence on the part of the left on military recruiters. A male member of the predominantly female Code Pink in attendence, wearing a pink military-style uniform, began to disrupt the event. After shouts in which the protestor – among other things – falsely claimed to be a “second-generation Marine,” Kevin took the microphone and was quoted in The Washington Post as saying “Let me tell you something, dammit! I’m a Navy veteran of seven years, and… you are a joke, sir! Please step the hell out of the building!” Security later ejected the protester.

Move America Forward Executive Director Catherine Moy pointed out, “We don’t do this at their press conferences.”
