A GATHERING OF EAGLES CARAVAN TO WASHINGTON, D.C. FROM 3/8-17 --- www.janereinheimer.com
The theme is: These Colors Don't Run
It all started when word got out that Cindy Sheehan, Jane Fonda and Ramsey Clark were going to lead a huge anti-war protest in Washington, D.C. -- disgracing the war memorials as they marched toward the Pentagon.
Along the way, a patriot named Melanie Morgan (www.melaniemorganrocks.com) got on board with a campaign rally of her own which she calls "Move America Forward." Morgan is author of a book called American Mourning. She is also a talk show host on KSFO in San Francisco.
Melanie is hoping that all the people who are able and who can participate will join her on St. Patrick's Day
Move America Forward will be a national caravan from California all the way to our nation's capital. Along the way, there will be rallies for fellow patriots and flags donated. These donated flags will be placed around war memorials in a sea of red, white and blue.
The Jane Fondas and the Cindy Sheehans and any other protestors will meet patriots from around the country -- Gold Star Mothers who have lost someone they love, Blue Star Mothers who have someone serving now, and veterans of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom.
After the rally is completed, then the flags that have been donated in the patriotic rallies across the country will be sent to Iraq and Afghanistan with a note that explains this national effort.
Melanie Morgan says, "Desecrating war memorials is treasonous. Spitting on soldiers is for demons and snakes. Troops stand in harm's way for the protection of civilians. Patriots will always stand in support of their troops."
Go to www.moveamericaforward to see the caravan route. It starts with a rally in San Francisco at 8:45 a.m. on March 8th. From there, the caravan will head south, then turn east in southern Caifornia.
On Friday, March 16th, the set up for "Flag City" in Washington, D.C. on the Capitol Mall during the day, followed by a pro-troop vigil at Walter Reed Medical Center.
On March 17th, the patriotic/pro-troop rally with Move America Forward, Gathering of Eagles, Free Republic, Rolling Thunder, Vets for Victory and others will take place at the Vietname Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., from 11 am to 5 pm.
"We're going to protect our Wall," said Bob Penn, a Marine Corps veteran of the Vietnam War. "It's that simple." His group, Operation Rolling Thunder, is helping get the necessary permits from the National Park Service and they're spreading the word by e-mail and word of mouth.
Truth is, they aren't getting much play on ABC, CBS, NBC, and CNN. Morgan was a guest on Fox News Channel's Hannity & Colmes though.
Gee, do you think this has anything to do with Fox News Channel's continued occupancy of the pinnacle of viewership in America? Are all the other news channels just part of the Great American Disconnect?
Go to www.gatheringofeagles.org and www.rollingthunder.org and www.defendourfreedom.com (this group will be filming and photographing the entire event).
So let's see -- our web site got 7,429 hits in January 2007 and we're over 7,000 so far this month. I'm guessing, from all your e-mails that you're Patriots like we are. It's time to rally 'round the flag folks.
It's time to honor all our military personnel and tell them we're rock solid behind them. It's time to reassert the hallowed sites that remember our fallen heroes!

Bump for the Troops -- see you at The Wall gathering on March 17th!
this article caught my eye because here in Britain, yesterday, I saw someone's Iron Maiden t-shirt with "these colours don't run" on the back of it in the same type of lettering - no connection by any chance?
