WASHINGTON, Feb. 20 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The following was released today by the Gathering of Eagles:
When: 9:30 a.m. Thursday, February 22, 2007
Where: The National Press Club
First Amendment Lounge
529 14th St., NW, 13th Floor
Washington, D.C. 20045

Spokesmen for three veterans organizations which are urging their members to rally in Washington, D.C. on March 17, 2007, to protect the Vietnam Veterans Memorial (The Wall) from antiwar protesters will be holding a press conference at 9:30 a.m., Thursday, February 22, 2007, at the National Press Club to announce their plans to protect The Wall and rally for America's servicemen and women serving in Iraq.
Word has been spreading like wildfire across the country in the veterans' community about the plans of an anti-American group to hold an antiwar rally on Saturday, March 17, 2007 at, according to their announcement, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial (Constitution Gardens.)
The Gathering of Eagles was formed by Vietnam veterans to protect the Vietnam Veterans Memorial from being desecrated as the Capitol was at an antiwar march last month. While there is no way to accurately gauge attendance, it is expected that thousands of veterans, their families and other patriotic Americans will gather that day to protect The Wall and other war memorials.
In addition to Rolling Thunder and the Military Order of the Purple Heart, participants in the Gathering of Eagles rally include Move America Forward, which is organizing a cross-country caravan that will bring Gold and Blue Star parents and veterans to the Gathering of Eagles, and FreeRepublic.com.

BUMP!
I hope some thought is given to also watching the WWII and Korean War Memorials.
If the anarchists can't get to the Wall, they may just deface the Memorials to our other fallen soldiers just because they are maggots.

1. The "THESE COLORS DON'T RUN" national patriotic, pro-troop caravan across the nation (collecting American flags at each stop to bring to D.C. for a giant "Flag City" sea of positive, pro-troop, patriotic red, white & blue to counter the negativity and defeatism of the anti-war crowd:
2. We will have the caravan attendees, plus MAF member/supproters join the "Gathering of Eagles" event in Washington, D.C. on March 17th. See: www.GatheringOfEagles.org for more information on this.
Head's Up PING - I didn't see the press release on this posted yet, so I started this thread to highlight the good work of Kristinn and the news conference participants in helping attract media attention to the March 17th Gathering of Eagles (and appreciating the plug for MAF's national "THESE COLORS DON'T RUN" caravan that will head to D.C. and join the many fine groups involved in putting together the March 17th event).
Thank you. Thank you.
PING a LING!
It worked out perfect, because MAF was planning a national caravan to collect flags and unveil them in DC for a "Flag City" and then we saw what the FReepers were planning and we realized that THIS was the perfect thing to tie in to and support.
Great job.
Great job.
This is the time for Americans to rise up. The MSM expects this to be a big day for renouncing the war. Instead, we need to make it a big day for Americans demanding victory against Islamic terrorism.
You need to post the schedule so people can plan to meet along the route and possibly continue with you to Washington DC.
Over my dead body!
This thread needs a bump to the top.
I intend to take metro to join in the street theater. heres hoping the pinkos don't like the play!
BTTT
Repeat: BTTT
lol
Echoing the REPEAT of the Bump to the Top!
BUMP!
BRAVO! BUMP
