...The Gathering of Eagles turnout was unprecedented. The Cindy Sheehanistas and socialist rabble-rousers had never been met and matched with such force. Now, the Eagles are organizing a return to Washington at a historic moment in the global war against jihad. Gen. David Petraeus, top commander in Iraq, and U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Ryan Crocker are expected to testify before the Senate on 9/11. Yes, that 9/11. Four days later, Sept. 15, is the deadline for the president to submit reports to Congress on how Iraq is meeting benchmarks for progress since the troop surge was announced.
ANSWER will lead what it bills as a "massive" Sept. 15 demonstration to "End the War Now!"- no matter what Gen. Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker report. They will hold a "die-in" and once again use the names and legacies of fallen soldiers without their permission to push for a pullout. They'll remain in Washington the following week to hold a Code Pink-led protest in the House and an Iraq Veterans Against the War-led harassment campaign against military recruiters nationwide.
For every anti-Bush activist agitating for immediate withdrawal and throwing rocks at ROTC offices, an Eagle will be there in Washington to oppose the planting of the white flag. The organizations leading the way include the Gathering of Eagles, Eagles Landing, Move America Forward, the Military Order of the Purple Heart, Free Republic, Vets for Freedom and the Victory Caucus.
As retired Army Col. Harry Riley explains, "Unlike the '60s and '70s, the anti-war lemmings will not have the streets or the political stage to themselves. This time, Eagle Americans... will also be in Washington, D.C., to show Congress that we will not tolerate another betrayal of our own forces or our allies....

Disgusting.
I wonder if there is a way for me to get there...?
I’m in SC. If anyone lives closer, I hope you are thinking the same thing.
I can tell you, from the point of view of a widow of one of the Fallen, that the DIE-IN is THE most offense they could have ever dreamed up. It turns my stomach. Where is common decency? God help them all.
Deb,
It seems common decency has gone the way of the dodo.
I am so humbled by the sacrifices your loved ones and you have made and filled with admiration for your husband and your son. Be angry and furious at these anti-war protestors, but never, ever allow them to sow doubt in your minds. They are, for the most part, ignorant of the truth and haven’t a clue. Bless you both, and thank you for your heroes!
I’m humbled to be able to post to you and tell you that your husband is a hero, and that your family has my deepest respect and admiration. I thank him and I thank you for your sacrifice. God bless you.
I honor your son's service and I praise him for making the ultimate sacrifice. He is a hero to me!
ANSWER sent out an email yesterday with links to sign up for a die in and mock funeral. They are a disgusting lot who holds contempt for our troops which makes them using our fallen all the more disgusting.
.
Ya suppose they need some help with that die-in? Reality shows are all the rage, you know. /sarc
God bless you Deb.
This is good enough to print out and put on my car.
Or you could just go to Sgt. Grit and it’s a $1.95 bumper sticker :)
I just ordered some.
And thank you!
These are pigs. There are no words to describe them.
Thanks FReepers and the GOE for standing tall.
