Gathering of Eagles will come to be known as the "Woodstock" of Patriotism.

This Gathering of Eagles will come to be known as the "Woodstock" of Patriotism.

Dear America:

I have seen Vietnam Veterans and their family's gather at Rolling Thunder by the Hundreds of thousands, At Melbourne, Florida for the kickoff of the year's Vietnam Veteran reunions.

At a thousand small towns in between both coasts for a day of festivities and unabashed patriotism ... At Kokomo Indiana for the last, all Veteran's reunion of the year.

I have ridden coast to coast and found literally thousands of Vet groups all working independently of each other, but all working towards a common goal; the betterment of the Veteran's lot and the betterment of The USA.

There were almost 500,000 bikes at last years Rolling Thunder, and easily and over a hundred thousand vets at many other, separate reunions.

This GATHERING OF EAGLES transcends all those reunions in importance; as we are not only going to protect the Memorials and to Honor our dead as we gather; but to boost the Morale of our troops engaged in battle with an enemy who has attacked our shores, who has been attacking us since any of us can remember by blowing up our embassies, knocking our planes from the skies, killing our Marines in their sleep, murdering our sailors at chow while their ship sat at anchor.

We are at a point in our history where the danger to our democracy has NEVER been greater or more visible.

Our troops hear the protesters because the left leaning Mass Media WANTS them to hear only that side of America.

And they do hear it.

And they are aware of this coming "GATHERING OF EAGLES" Very aware.

They, our Marines, Army, Air Force and Navy engaging the enemy in both Afghanistan and Iraq will be watching to see ... "How many?" How many Americans support them? They will be watching ... and they must not be disappointed.

This is one of the most important gatherings in America's history. Every bit as important as how many of those Revolutionary War Soldiers braved the Winter to win this country its Freedom.

Every bit as important as those millions of citizens who rationed everything they had; lived without butter, tires, worked 12 hour shifts, gave up their pots and pans so America might have a better chance to win W.W.II.

This sacrifice of ours is only of time. We will not be huddled freezing around tiny camp fires with rags for shoes, no one has to go without so our troops might have the equipment they need to carry the battle.

We need you! Every one of you!

We need you to spread the word, and to come to Washington, DC. To be there at the Wall on March 17th; not only to make certain the hard core anarchist among the protesters do not deface any memorial, but to send a message to our troops in harms way.

A message they will be listening and watching for.

It is up to each of us to look inside ourselves and ask ..."Is this worth it?"

The only possible answer you can arrive at is that is not only very much worth it; it is IMPERATIVE that you go.

The sound of a hundred thousand flags being held aloft in dignity and HONOR will be deafening in its wonderful silence ... a silence heard all around this world.

This Gathering of Eagles will come to be known as the "Woodstock" of Patriotism.

Those of you on the fence as if you can go or not, I say to you now; Please, you must go!

There will most likely never be a more important event in our lifetime.

We need you to stand together with us on the 17th of March or the Jane Fonda's, the CODE PINKS and Stalinist Worker's Party of this country will claim victory.

And our troops today will feel that day what we felt in the Jungles of Vietnam, even as we fought the biggest battle of the Cold War.

Back to Back

I hope that this is grand in scale.
We need this more then ever, and only veterans can truly deliver the message.

I hope this is huge - although I'll settle for a few hundred.

Why does it have to be the "Woodstock"? Seems like a more fitting name than one that conjures up a bunch of filthy stoned out hippies could have been chosen.

Well, they could have picked "Mecca", but I would rather stick with the filthy stoned out hippy image.

I hope that we see some of our congressmen who are veterans at this event. The seditious vermin Jane Fonda and her ilk should be in orange jumpsuits for sedition and treason instead a running around like they own this country!

I am hoping it is Waterloo for the anti-America, anti-war creeps.

Some years ago there was an environmentalist rally on the Mall, and a couple of weeks later a pro-life rally. The Washington papers were reporting how much trash had to be picked up after the greenies rallied. My son told me after the pro-life rally that he had volunteered to help clean up, but there was very little to pick up (that never made the papers). The pro-lifers put their trash in the trash cans. The greenies, by contrast, just threw it on the Mall.

I'm sure somone is planning on the logistics for the event. I'm confident that afterwards it will be found that the anti-defense crowd has trashed the Mall, while our people picked up after themselves.

Every one of the Marine Veterans (40) coming with me will be carrying at least one extra large trash bag.

I am unable to make it there, but I know that patriots like you won't let them defile the Wall where my cousin is remembered.
