Mike Hall stood beneath a blue popup tent as a man wearing a Hardee's uniform walked up and handed him a bag of food and a cold, perspiring bottle of water.
"My boss told me to deliver this to you," the man said. "We appreciate what you are doing."
Hall, a retired Army veteran who lives in Staunton, joined a former FBI agent on Friday as an armed citizen volunteering his time to protect soldiers at an Armed Forces Career Center at 823 Richmond Ave. He said someone had donated the tent for the men to have shelter while guarding the recruitment center. |

Note to readers.
See story on Pentagon requesting that people not guard the recruiting stations.
I can hardly wait for them to try and enforce that.
To our people in uniform. We will back you 100%. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands? — Patrick Henry, 3 J. Elliot, Debates in the Several State Conventions 45, 2d ed. Philadelphia, 1836 |
