Drop Everything But Your Pants!

....and head to Washington, D.C. for the Gathering of Eagles next weekend.

Freeper #1 Jim Robinson has joined the Move America Forward caravan and is making the cross-country trek to join the Eagles as they protect the Vietnam Veterans Memorial and rally for our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.

March 17, 2007 has the potential to go down in history as the day Vietnam veterans, veterans of other eras and their fellow patriotic Americans stood up to the anti-American left in overwhelming numbers.

Troops in Iraq and Afghanistan know about the Gathering of Eagles and are cheering us on. Will you let them down by staying home? Or will you make the sacrifice of time, effort and a change in your schedule to stand up for our troops-past and present.

If you have it in your power to be there--be there.

Buses are being organized, hotel blocks have been reserved, permits are being acquired and logistics being squared away. All that's left to do is for you to show up and stand up.

Jim Robinson will be there to protect The Wall and the honor of our troops. Freepers, please join him there. It's important.

Bump!

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!

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.

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!

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 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.

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.

There is also a "With you in Spirit" petition.

Signed with prayers for the safety of our troops and for the success of their mission.
