THESE COLORS DON'T RUN
By Judi McLeod
Monday, February 19, 2007
Even as the anti-war movement is setting the stage for the mother of all protests next month, Melanie Morgan is turning it around to a nation-wide show of support for American troops.

"Move America Forward is about to launch a major advertising campaign to rally support for our troops in Iraq." (www.melaniemorganrocks.com).
"On Saturday, March 17th, Cindy Sheehan, Jane Fonda and Ramsey Clark will lead a giant anti-war protest in Washington, D.C.--disgracing the war memorials there as they march to the Pentagon...
snip
This is how Move America Forward intends to trump all this negativity and disrespect towards our troops: "With a positive and patriotic national effort titled, 'THESE COLORS DON'T RUN.'"
MAF will lead a national caravan of vehicles and supporters from California across the nation, all the way to Washington, D.C. Heading up the caravan will be real people, Gold Star parents who lost a child in the war on terrorism, Blue Star parents...,(and) veterans of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom.
At each stop along the way, the MAF caravan will stop to conduct a patriotic pro-troop rally where they were be collecting American flags from rally participants.
"At each rally we will collect the flags and pack them in the trucks in our caravan and then bring them to Washington, D.C. where we will surround these war memorials in a giant sea of red, white and blue--and where we will conduct our final and largest pro-troop rally in Washington D.C.-on March 17th...
You can follow Melanie Morgan's caravan starting today by checking on the posted planned route and stops along the way at the Move America Forward website.

The following, is the announcement from Rolling Thunder:
March On the Pentagon March 17, 2007 Washington, D.C.
On March 17, 2007 a group of anti-war protestors are planning to march to the Pentagon from Washington, D.C. The March 17th anti-war demonstration will assemble at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial (Constitution Gardens) at 12 noon in Washington, D.C. and march to the Pentagon. In order to ensure that the Wall and other Memorials in the general area are not defaced, like what happened at the anti-war demonstration at the U.S. Capitol on January 27th. I am requesting that as many Rolling Thunder, Inc. chapters, members and supporters that can make it, meet at the Wall no later than 8:00 AM on the 17th. We do not want, nor will we tolerate a repeat of what happened at the U.S. Capitol. Rolling Thunder members be sure to wear your Rolling Thunder vests on the 17th. Show your support to our Troops, to those who sacrificed their lives in the past Wars and to protect our Memorials. Hope you can make it.
The following from Gathering of Eagles:
Event Information
What: Gathering of Eagles
When: March 17th, 2007
Assemble from 0700 and 1000.
Where: The Vietnam Veteran's Memorial Wall, Washington D.C.
Why: To stand silent guard over our nation's memorials, in honor of our fallen, and in solidarity with our armed forces in harm's way today. Read our mission statement.
The following from MAF:
“These Colors Don’t Run!”
Move America Forward invites you to join us as we launch a national caravan from California (leaving on Thursday, March 8, 2007) to Washington, D.C. where we will join "The Gathering of Eagles" for a giant pro-troop rally on Saturday March 17, 2007.
