This is an AAR from the General Discussion Forum on AR15.com with some great pics. Just click on the links and you'll see them.
"I was proud to attend today's "Gathering of Eagles" (GOE) counter-protest to the large anti-war march to the Pentagon and was pleased find the attendance by many loyal veterans and Americans. Those carrying American flags and backing our men and women in uniform arrived and participated in very large numbers. I was impressed and pleased.
The dingbats were also in very large numbers and behaved shamefully. They didn't do so without direct, loud and clear commentary from the assembled patriotic souls and faced a sea of American flags flying stiffly in the cold wind. The "moonbat" crowd did shameful things to the few American flags that they had - including altering the to stars and replacing them with dishonorable symbols and later - dragging the American flag on the ground.
The voices and messages of those of us flying the American flag with pride were numerous, loud and gave absolutely no quarter. I was proud to raise my voice with them. The event began with the dingbat anti-war protesters assembled near the State Department giving their shrill speeches. The Gathering of Eagles patriots were assigned an area on the opposite side of the Viet Nam Veteran's Memorial wall and it was a proud display of U.S. flags. The Pledge of Allegence was said and our National Anthem played in sight of the Wall. The Memorial was very well protected and there were no incidents that I'm aware of..."

Gathering of Eagles- Moonbat Safety Video
I was there, it was like being at the beach and finding that the waves were perfectly formed, ten feet high and beginning their breaks about one hundred yards out.
You shoulda been there.
Fabulous photos AND patriots! Thanks for posting.
Awesome pics! I got a little lost on the live thread.
What can you say about ingrates who crap all over the country and military? Speaking of ingrates, traitors, and pond scum...where was jihad Jane and Michael Moore? Are the moonbats pondering the rich and famous not appearing?
No problem CWO! I bookmarked you and will be back.
Those that I did see were great!
Welcome to FR.
Thanks for the ping. Great turnout of the good guys although it looks like we were under-represented by women.
Thank you!!!
And, terrific pics, too.
I know what you are saying, although in what could possibly turn into a combat zone, a higher male percentage might be desirable.
At minimum it must've made an impression on the stinkies.
Thanks, BlueOneGolf, I enjoyed the after-action report and photos.
Thanks, also, for posting on the live thread from the Gathering of Eagles.
It was a great day to support our troops and show the anti-war, anti-America protesters that they have crossed the line and will no longer get a free pass.
FReep On!
MORE FUN AT YOU TUBE...
