I desperately want to be there but can't find anyone else to drive with (I can't drive the entire stretch on my own in the short time I have to do it). Apparently no Utah FReepers other than I can go. Worse, although I have family in the DC area (free room), I can't afford the airfare! AAAARRRGH!
((HUGS))Good morning, Starwise. How's it going?
Just left the Bakersfield rally a few minutes ago. Had about 75 people there and three or four TV trucks. Lots of flags and veterans. Great rally! On the road now to Los Angeles. Kind of hard staying connected. Will check in as I can.

We'll be there!!
I said goodbye to one of my soldier sons at the airport this morning as he returns to Iraq after 2 weeks R&R. On the way home, he had the privilege of walking through the welcome line at DFW and was so touched - especially by all the veterans there shaking the hands of this generation of soldiers. It is so important for our military to know they are being supported. As my soldiers' mother, I thank you and all the others for being there and supporting our troops!
Eagles Up!!!! See you on the 17th! Online Petition says there will be more than 100! :) :) :)
Just great, thank you! Happy Friday .. God bless and protect our awesome troops!
That's SO awesome .. I cry every time I see our troops welcomed by the grandest folks in the world. Please thank him for his incredible service .. and thank YOU.. God bless you and your troop. And God bless Burt Brady .. one Great American!

God walks with the Gathering of Eagles who face our enemies today as in Vietnam.
IMO, it's PAYBACK time for our brave Vietnam vets. The anti-war traitors of the Vietnam era caused the deaths of brave American patriots during the Vietnam war. They are attempting to do the same thing today. They've emboldened our enemies and caused harm to today's American patriots. The anti-American, anti-war rhetoric coming out of the mouths of Pelosi, Reid, Kerry, Queen Hillary, Boxer, Schumer, and the rest of the Liberal traitors aids and abets our enemies. The Gathering of Eagles rally will show our troops that we support them. It will serve as a message to Liberal and RINO politicians that they do not speak for us.
I will be with you in thought and spirit. God bless the Gathering of Eagles.
I hope to be at the Phoenix part of the Rally on Saturday the 10th.Jim I also would like to have the pleasure of meeting you in Phoenix.
I don't see anyone listed from Utah on the "state info" at www.gatheringofeagles.org, althought it looks like they may try for a rally at Salt Lake City. HOWEVER, could you afford airfare to a another place other than DC (such as Illinois or into Philadelphia) and then come on on of their buses or caravans?
Also, did you check airfares using the 3 airports that serve DC: Reagan National, Dulles, and BWI? The last 2 are a bit more difficult to get into DC from (according to what I've seen posted elsewhere) but BWI is considering a cheaper alternative to Philly, for example.
Just crosed over the Grapevine and are now going down the mountain heading into the LA Basin. The LA rally is scheduled to start in about an hour. Will login if I can get a connection.
BUMP
Ok great! See you there!!
God Bless you repubmom for rearing two fine sons who are serving with honor.
As a Proud Army Mom, I understand feeling that very special pride, but also understand the feeling of having a son in harms way, being on the home front and only being able to put a son(in your case, sons) into God's hands of protection, then also doing as much as I can in fighting the liberal ilk that would attempt to demean that honor and pride, of all that you and I and other proud military parents hold dear. That being said, I want you to know that I will be putting feet to those prayers by attending the "These Colors Don't Run" Support the Troops Rally and 'Gathering of Eagles' stand in DC.
I will do some WooHoo's for you and other military parents that won't be able to make the trip there....and that's a promise!!
MAY GOD BLESS YOUR SONS, YOU, REPUBMOM AND YOUR FAMILY!!!! May God continue in keeping his hand of protection on them.
Signed with prayers for the safety of our troops and for the success of their mission.
