When Lois catches news of this, she demands that Peter and his friends stand up to the brutes. After a brutal fight, the brutes once again demand they leave. Peter refuses to give up and goes into a tirade about life events that went on while sitting at his booth including his children being conceived there and witnessing the Space Shuttle Challenger explosion, the &lt;a href="September%2011%20attacks"&gt;9/11 attacks&lt;/a&gt; and Barack Obama being elected President of the United States. The brutes reveal that they are soldiers who are only visiting Quahog and will be deployed to Afghanistan, which earns them applause from the Drunken Clam's patrons where Seamus uses Mort's head to salute them. Peter, Quagmire, and Joe are put down once again as Mayor Adam West declares this day in honor of the three soldiers, much to their chagrin.
