UPDATES: Task Force Eagle and Operation Eagle Justice

Gathering of Eagles Kit Lange ^ | 8/6/07 | Chris Hill

[mdittmar]

Okay, Eagles. We’re less than a week out from our first mission and less than two weeks from the second. We have moved Heaven and Earth and expended untold man-hours to get the logistics done. It is now up to each and every one of you to ruck up and support these missions at whatever level you are capable of. For some of you, that will mean showing up at one or both events. For others, that will mean supporting the missions from afar; either by faxing the letter we have posted or calling your members of Congress. Some of you will donate funds so that the events can be paid for. We need you to support us at whatever level you can.

To quote Winston Churchill, “Sometimes it is not enough to do your best; sometimes you must do what is required.” This is that time.

To put it in military terms, the infantry will be on the ground, and we need artillery and air support, as well as supply. We have to count on each other, because we do not have much chance of receiving any measurable press coverage. We have done more with less , though. It is not for any reason other than we have promised to BUY OUR TROOPS SOME TIME. We want them to come home, but as victors to the heroes welcome they deserve.

We have all promised not to let this generation be treated as our brothers from Vietnam were. They are winning, and we must support them until the fight is done. They are doing their part. Now we must each do a little bit more than our part. I look forward to standing with those of you with whom I stood in March and meeting those who have joined us since. I consider it a great honor to be counted among your number. I have promised never again to be silent in the face of anti-American propaganda, whatever the cost. I know you have, too. I am not trying to build bridges to these people who call themselves peace activists while hurling the insults “baby-killer,” “war criminal,” and “bomb thrower” at us. I fully intend to defeat them at every turn, and with your help I can. Thank you for entrusting me with your standard; I’ll see you in Washington , DC. Manchu.

Chris Hill
National Director of Operations
Gathering of Eagles

Task Force Eagle

Rally at Upper Senate Park (on Capitol Hill) at 1000hrs 10 September. The Park is located the north side of the Capitol, between it and Union Station. We will be greeted by Rep. Thaddeus McCotter (R-MI). After a pre-game talk, we will venture inside to explain to Congress that we will not allow our men and women in uniform to be used as political props. The time for political rhetoric is over. The Surge is working. Local politics in Iraq are expanding. Bottom-up change is taking place, and the choice is either to continue to safeguard a burgeoning democracy until they can stand on their own, or to surrender to Al-Qaeda. Surrender is not an infantry word. Our warriors in Iraq know it, and it is our job to remind Congress. Those of you who cannot make this action, please print out a copy of the letter to Congress, sign it, and fax it over to your representatives. Then follow up with a phone call. Let them know we support victory and will accept nothing else. We cannot do it without you. Lt. Gen. Petraeus will testify that day, so there is no better time for us to show our support. We are perfectly situated to effect change, but we must all do one thing that day. Each of us must think of our men and women in 120-degree heat (before they put on body armor) and know that they are pulling their weight. It is time to pull ours.

Operation Eagle Justice

This is the one many of you have been waiting on. On 15 September we will rally on The Mall at 0900 hrs on 7th Street between Madison and Jefferson. We have many notable speakers joining us that day, so don’t be late. After our program is completed, we will head over to line A.N.S.W.E.R .’s route to the Capitol. We are permitted from 7th to 10th on Pennsylvania Ave., and our allies in the DC Chapter of Protest Warriors have been granted the permit for the Navy Memorial, which is directly across the street from us. Many of you will remember the treatment the Lone Sailor received at the hands of Code Pink back in January. We will not let that happen again.

As A.N.S.W.E.R. and their allies in the hate-America crowd stumble by, we will treat them to some good old-fashioned, red-blooded American “free speech.” Remember, the days are still warm, and we will be outside, so bring water and light snacks. Parking will be severely limited, so be prepared to access the Metro if possible. The Navy Memorial stop will put you two blocks from the rally and directly across from the counter-protest site. Motorcycles can be parked on any of the numbered streets west of 7th.

Buses will disgorge their passengers at 4th Street on The Mall. Marshals and team leaders will be at all locations to ground-guide and provide security. A.N.S.W.E.R. and the Iraq Vets for Peace (all 12 of them) are planning to stage a “die-in” on the Capitol grounds. They plan to use photos and names of our brave warriors who have been killed in action as props. Multiple Gold Star family members have expressed outrage that anyone would use their family members’ images without permission. Be prepared to let the miscreants know how we feel about that. Bring your outside voices and all the heart I know you each possess. This is the one-two punch, my brothers and sisters. We may not knock them out, but we will knock them down (metaphorically speaking, of course!). Our warriors are winning over, killing, and capturing terrorists. We must let those who do not know they have a voice hear us. It is an obligation we all bear.

Join us on September 15th to let the world know how we feel!

Prayer Thread for MAF/Gathering of Eagles Caravan to D.C. and our TROOPS

---

"Contemplate the mangled bodies of your countrymen, and then say, 'What should be the reward of such sacrifices?' ... If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animating contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen!"
-- Samuel Adams

---

"THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.

"Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.

"What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated....
-- Thomas Paine, THE CRISIS

[Jimmy Valentine's brother]

Michelle Malkin wrote in an op-ed that appeared in last Sunday's The Washington Times that she wouldn't miss Operation Eagle Justice. You can bet that I won't either especially after what a$$ wipe Schumer said on the floor of the U.S.Senate.

BUMP

[freepersup]

It is an honor to bump this important call for duty!

Sorry to report my absence from this outstanding mission, as I’ll be heading downrange on that day (back) to Iraq (Al Asad.) I’d like to be able to report to you, that I will be putting ordnance on target once there... instead, I’ll be part of the civilian logistical support work force.

Keep on keeping on. Thank you very much and thank you to all who stand up for our fighting forces.

GOE MAF Eagles Up! ping

Would someone from each state please make sure this info gets posted on every state board? Thanks.

Speaking of terrorism, Able Danger could have prevented 9/11. Bill and Hillary didn’t let our intelligence services work together to prevent disaster.

Flying Old Glory on 9/11/07 — the Sixth Anniversary of the WTC Twin Towers Attack.
Please join us in this FLY THE FLAG campaign and PLEASE forward this email immediately to everyone in your address book asking them to also forward it. We have a little less than one week and counting to get the word out all across this great land and into every community in the United States of America. If you forward this email to least 11 people and each of those people do the same...you get the idea.
Get your flag ready for 09/11/2007
THE PROGRAM:
On Monday, September 11th, 2007, an American flag should be displayed outside every home, apartment, office, and store in the United States. Every individual should make it their duty to display an American flag on this sixth anniversary of our country’s worst tragedy. We do this honor of those who lost their lives on 9/11, their families, friends and loved ones who continue to endure the pain, and those who today are fighting at home and abroad to preserve our cherished freedoms.
In the days, weeks and months following 9/11, our country was bathed in American flags as citizens mourned the incredible losses and stood shoulder-to-shoulder against terrorism. Sadly, those flags have all but disappeared. Our patriotism pulled us through some tough times and it shouldn’t take another attack to galvanize us in solidarity. Our American flag is the fabric of our country and together we can prevail over terrorism of all kinds
Action Plan—here’s what we need you to do ..
(1) Forward this email to everyone you know (at least 11 people). Please don’t be the one to break this chain. Take a moment to think back to how you felt on 9/11 and let those sentiments guide you.
(2) Fly an American flag of any size on 9/11. Honestly, Americans should fly the flag year-round, but if you don’t, then at least make it a priority on this day.
Thank you for your participation. God Bless You and God Bless America!
