Thank you, Harry Riley, for the magnificent job you have done in getting “Gathering of Eagles” off to such an astounding start. Without you, the job wouldn’t have been done so well. You were just perfect for the job at hand, and America is in your debt. Thanks again.
Eagles, this has been one amazing trip, and it ain’t over. Just thinking about how swiftly thousands of patriotic Americans came together and assembled at The Wall in Washington blows my mind.
Harry Riley and I spoke by telephone in late January or early February and agreed that Jane Fonda’s and Cindy Sheehan’s March on the Pentagon was not going to be given a free pass as Fonda’s was in 1967. Less than two months later, thousands of us demonstrated that the leftists were not going to dominate US policy like they did in the 1960’s and 1970’s.
This time, America was going to register its disapproval, and, by goodness, WE DID! The tens of thousands of us who gathered near The Wall to protect that sacred memorial sent a resounding message to Fonda, Sheehan, and Code Pink that we will NOT stand idly by while the honor of our defenders of freedom is besmirched.
We honestly planned to be a “One-Note Charlie” and go home after registering our disagreement with the America-hating crowd that sullied the ground of our nation’s capital. However, the impact of the victory we experienced made us thirsty for more of the same.
It is therefore with great pleasure that I confirm to all of you that we are here to stay. We don’t know exactly what we will do or when and how we will do it, but you can be sure that America-loving patriots are going to be proud to be a part of our effort!
We intend to go on the offensive or defensive whenever our “kitchen cabinet” of Eagles from across the nation decides collectively that a time for specific action has come. We are currently looking at a major “Support the Troops” gathering back in DC over the Memorial Day weekend in conjunction with “Ride to the Wall,” “Free Republic,” “Rolling Thunder” and other like-minded organizations.
Having tasted victory on St. Patrick’s Day 2007, we intend to make a diet of it. Stick with us, and we will work miracles.
This is the best news I have heard in a long, long time!
Somehow, someway, I am going to be a part of this one!
Eagles Up!
What a statement!! It's words like this that give commies the shivers.
I'll be riding in on Memorial Day, see you then.
It's about time the "Silent Majority" had something real we could rally around. God bless Larry, all the Eagles and all FReepers.
Let us hope that in the years to come the ground swell that now is forming shall help reclaim this country from it's downward spiral. When hordes of patriotic Americans start to let their voices be heard over those that do not love this country, things just might start to improve a bit in how Washington conducts itself. The L/MSM giants do not need the vote. But congressmen and presidents do.
I have to figure out how to get there this year too...
I go there in June. Somehow I will go earlier this year. Maybe just fly in for the long weekend.
See you there.
We wish.
Your freedom and your wallet are not safe when Congress is in session.
