Inverview with Col. Harry Riley, one of the GOE organizers

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

FrontPage mag interview

Frontpage Interview’s guest today is Colonel Harry G. Riley, the recipient of the Silver Star, Legion of Merit, Bronze Star and other awards and badges – including the Combat Infantry Badge, Parachute Badge, and Army Staff Badge.

He served over 34 years in the US Army. He was commissioned as a 2LT in 1966 and promoted to Colonel in 1989. He served in command positions from Detachment through Battalion level and staff assignments from Brigade to Chief of Staff Army level. He served two tours in Viet Nam and did several tours in Germany.

Col. Riley is one of the organizers of the national counter-protest Gathering of Eagles, a veterans group of Americans who will gather in Washington, D.C. on March 17 at the Vietnam Memorial Wall to serve as a counter-demonstration to an anti-war rally there on that day.

The Gathering of Eagles will act to block any anti-war protestors who try to desecrate, damage or dishonor the Memorial Wall.

God bless you, sir!

Now we get to see the power of the web, doing the job the MSM should but won't.

I'd like to echo others on this thread and thank all who were there for those of us who couldn't be.

Hopefully your speeches will be posted somewhere because many of us do want to see them. I hear you did a good job.

Thanks man, the vets stomped a mud hole in them and walked it dry!!!

I never expected anything less.

Proven grit vs. full of ****.

Obvious outcome.

Really though I was/have been down in the dumps cause I couldn't make the trip - so it cheered me up big time to hear one of my neighbors was up there and laying the truth down. Did me some good.

Most of my school is pretty apathetic but in my AP government class there are a few left wing koolaid drinkers. I'm one of two conservatives in that class and we usually put up a pretty good fight. It doesn't help when your teacher is the ideological equivalent of Dennis Kucinich though I've actually converted a couple of my friends who were once ignorant leftists.

If any of the middle of the roaders saw some of these speakers they would understand what liberalism is really about. Ann Coulter said it best when she said that most people only consider themselves liberals because its a nicer sounding word than conservative.

I figured they had worn out their hammers and sickles, so they default to the murderous Che, showing their true colors. Too bad somebody didn't grab that Cuban flag and burn it, since it's a free speech right to burn flags.

I hope the Commie Code Pinkos got their ears warmed with the Gathering of Eagles' strong words. I hope they put in an extra pinch for St. Patrick.
