Reading of the Fallen

The Whatcom County group of Washington Open Carry are sponsoring an Event on 11 NOV 2012 in Bellingham from Noon to four pm. We are attempting to "normalize" the Open Carry of firearms in our Fair City. This is a link to our efforts. http://forum.opencarry.org/forums/showthread.php?107797-Reading-of-the-Fallen

There will be a "Reading of the Fallen" on 11 NOV 2012 . We would like to have as many Armed Citizens as possible to participate in, what could be a historic event.

1,050,000 names? That seems low - especially considering the Civil War itself had somewhere arounf 750,000 in-uniform deaths.

But regardless - I'm going to look into whether or not one is scheduled here, or needs to be set up.

stay safe.

Skid - ?????

Was your "????" about my use of the word "here"? I meant in Virginia, not on OCDO.

Relax. Breathe - both directions.

And if it was not about my use of the word "here" - no, I am not yet among the fallen. At least not that group - we will not discuss angels or morals that may not be upright.

stay safe.

I believe the reading is state specific. So our list will concentrate on fallen Washington state soldiers.
