The D.C. Chapter of FreeRepublic.com is helping to organize the Gathering of Eagles rally this weekend. We are encouraging everyone who can to get to D.C. on Saturday for a big show of support for our troops and their victory in the war on terror.
We'll be kicking things off with the D.C. Chapter's regular Friday night freep at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. Meet us at the main gate, Georgia Avenue and Elder Street, NW beginning at 6:30 p.m. We'll be there until around 9:30 p.m.
On Saturday, Sept. 15, we are asking folks to come downtown early and stay all day.
Gather at 9:00 a.m. at 7th Street on the National Mall for the GOE III rally. After the rally, we'll move out and form up our counter-protest lines against the ANSWER commies along the south side of Pennsylvania from 7th Street to 10th Street, NW, as well as at the Navy Memorial on the north side.
Please bring American and service flags with you. If possible, please bring bundles of hand held American flags that we can distribute to participants.

I heard them mention the GOE on WABC’s hourly news update yesterday.
They even included a great soundbite by you, kristinn, and it made me proud to be a FReeper(though we got no mention).
You are doping a great job and if I weren’t in TX, I would be joining you.
Godspeed.
Some of the “dollar” type stores have flags. WalMart has some Made-in-USA flags and the price is quite reasonable. As I recall, it was around $1.50 each. They have the little tiny ones in a 4-pack for maybe $2.
It might be a little late, but I found some of the type with a bracket that roll up into a car window at Big Lots in the summer closeout section. They were normally $3. each, but they were on 90% off sale. I bought all of the remaining 14.
Now that is my kind of bargain!
I have beautiful embroidered caps from a close out.
Small patriotic cloth bags and a dozen visors
All purchased since the spring GOES rally and ready to give out Saturday!
The hats had beautiful Embroidered EAGLES and I have added the GOE III and the 9-15-07 to the trim and on the other items too.
Thanks for the great signs you've made!
bump!
“FloraMcdonald” and I are riding up together. See you then!
The parents of (then Capt.)Michael D. Martino will be coming, too. http://www.arlingtoncemetery.net/mdmartino.htm
There will be additional Gold Star parents coming in Sunday for the events next week.
Paging the Patriots... please pick up the white courtesy phone...:)
God bless Martin ‘Marty’ Ford... sure, and God has a special place for him in Heaven.
Was that “Marty” who was a regular caller to Sean Hannity’s program? If it was, I heard him many times. Condolences to all Marty’s family and friends. Another true American hero gone
Thanks for the ping, mountainflower. I’ll be at the Women of Faith Convention here in Philadelphia this evening and all day tomorrow. I’ll be sure to pass the GOE news around to everyone I meet. We will keep you all in our prayers and give thanks that you are speaking for us.
I’ll be watching for photos.
