SINCE I have read the very first THREAD Concerning the Planned Rally- Many various emotions, past memories of past "Rallies" ( good and bad ) , and soul searching has been going on personally with myself.

But TWO things HAVE Come out from all my Conclusions and that is:

1) Those who are Truely " FREEPERS " are what's REALLY called by many today " REAL Americans "! and two:

2) NOTHING can be as so Important as SUPPORTING OUR TROOPS- as Supporting our Fellow FREEPERS and Associates when the Call comes out for UNITY! STRENGTH! and SACRIFICE as well.

If our TROOPS can Give the Ultimate Sacrifice.

If The FREEPERS and other Great Americans can.- the LEAST THING Little old "I" can do before I meet my maker and even up what I owe HIM/HER is Do what little I can while here in my short life time too to MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

And while talking with Everyone here:

Planning Rides, Making Posters and signs!! I find:

THE EXCITEMENT FOR THIS RALLY IS GROWING!!!

The Question is:--as Thunder and others put it:

" Will YOU be a PART OF HISTORY??....will YOU 'be' there?? "

GET INVOLVED folks--I would personally LOVE to me you ALL! So when that day comes: when I am laying in my bed; waiting for the Angel of God to take me to the Father- I can go with a smile on my face Knowing that I MET Some of the GREATEST PEOPLE that Anyone could call " Friend "- that that WE made a DIFFERENCE at least at One time in our lives: Together in Unity, Faith, and Friendship.

OOH-RAH! Folks!

SPREAD THE WORD!

Bump for Gathering of Eagles! I have the banner and link on the front page of my website, plus my weekly column just came out promoting the rally. I called it "A Gathering of Eagles" since no other columns grabbed the title yet! Hah!

Will there be a "Gathering of Eagles" T-shirt?

Springfield, VA--"Don't touch the Vietnam Memorial Wall," said Tom Poulter, National Commander of the Military Order of the Purple Heart (MOPH), speaking to potential anti-war demonstrators who plan on gathering there on March 17^th.

"Fifty eight thousand men and boys fought and died so you could demonstrate  in peace.  To dishonor them by defacing the Wall is unthinkable," Poulter continued.

            "We respect the right to demonstrate.  We do not respect the right to defile or deface sacred places like the Vietnam Wall.  Our members, many of whom were wounded in Vietnam, are outraged that protesters would even consider gathering near the Wall.  That is hallowed ground to us who shed our blood on the soils of Vietnam."

            The MOPH commander was livid when he learned of the planned gathering near the Wall to begin an anti-war demonstration on March 17^th. 

"It would be best for those people to gather some other place.  In fact, there will be many Vietnam veterans guarding the Wall and I can assure you it will not be a peaceful situation should anti-war demonstrators try to damage or deface the memorial."

"There are those who will demonstrate who are not worthy enough to stand near the Wall, much less touch it."

            The majority of the 40,000 members of the MOPH were wounded in Vietnam.

'Gathering of Eagles' to protect Vietnam Veterans Wall

[EXCERPT from U.S. Veteran Dispatch:]

Leftist activists who march to the Pentagon next month will discover that their path won't be as clear as it has been in the past.

The group, led by Cindy Sheehan, Jane Fonda, Ed Asner and their ilk, plan to gather March 17 at the Vietnam Memorial Wall to begin a march to protest America's involvement in the Iraq war. The date marks the fourth anniversary of the war's beginning.

This time, however, protestors will see objectors if they spit on Iraqi veterans again, or throw paint on a war memorial. This time, they will encounter a buzz saw of Vietnam veterans and supporters who will gather to protect the Wall, and show their support for U.S. troops. The counter-protestors are calling themselves the Gathering of Eagles.

Any rides from Charlottesville VA Area? Freepmail me. I'll be on crutches and unable to drive. I may have a wheelchair. But I'd like to stand up sit down and be counted.

[processing please hold]

We're seeing what we can do to get there to counter those idiots and since I've never been to Washington before so I don't know what area to look for a motel/hotel in. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I am coming from Texas. Picking up my brother in Missouri and a friend of ours and his wife in Indiana. Then we are making tracks to DC.

I will be there.
