It is important to remember that most of the NPS personnel and media who were present during the protest jumps were on our side, shaking hands and having friendly, productive conversation with the first few to make the jump.
Everyone, the NPS personnel, the media, the bystanders and of course all the BASE brothers and sisters were deeply shaken with Jan's Passing.
Emotion now runs heavy on all sides and understandably so.
It would truly show bad form and inflict irreparable harm if even one person from our group were to verbally assault ANYONE before, during or after the march. Even if verbally assaulted first, every one of us needs to keep this in mind and must be responsible to make sure that everyone in our presence understands this also.
I can almost guarantee there will be someone out there trying to agitate the situation. Our head should not even turn in acknowledgment of criticism as we focus on our goal. We must remember that those devoted to criticizing our cause will never help us, but a negative encounter from you can certainly help them.
Jan Davis and Frank P. Gambalie stood for freedom, we should continue with that fight while always showing respect for their families.
