Here is what I wrote to the National Commander of the American Legion:

Dear Commander:

As a 35 year member of the American Legion, as a veteran of combat in Vietnam and as a person who, in his 35 year career as a law enforcement officer committed to the rule of law, I respectfully ask you to publicly support the Gathering of Eagles to be held at the Vietnam Memorial in Washington D.C. on Saturday, March 17.

The Gathering of Eagles is a truly grass-roots action to both physically and symbolically protect the memorial from the leftists and anarchists who have had the "run of the streets" for too long. That they are portrayed as representatives of the "will of the people" is, at least partly because we, the mainstream American people and veterans have been silent for so long. It is time to take back the streets!

I sent an email to the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars last week, right after Rolling Thunder and the Military Order of the Purple Heart signed on with the Gathering of Eagles. No response from either, yet.

Maybe other Freepers, vets and members should also send emails, to get their attention?
