The Eagle Flags, third pic from the top, are awesome. Where can I get one?

I will try to find out where they were purchased from, post the answer here and FReepmail you. Apparently our local newspaper showed a pic of the caravan on the 9th but it's not in the internet version that I can find. However, a letter to the editor today by a liberal mentions it.

Thanks for the great report. I was hoping you would do an AAR.

Love the Eagle flags and also the others lined up.

Wayne, General Pat and everybody else in Tucson yesterday: Thank you for being there!

Thanks, Wayne, for posting the photos and report, AND for orchestrating the Tucson Gathering of Eagles on March 17th. The links to news reports on the Move America Forward website are encouraging - local media seems to want to report good news. National media are another story.

I can't wait until the lefties (and the blind, deaf and dumb MSM) hear from the real majority in this country on Saturday.

Thanks for the good news and report with pix, \/\/ayne...

Nice to see the Robinsons so well and happy and to know Syncro is on the Caravan too.... Woohoo.

The Fox affiliate did report on the caravan and rally during the 9:00 PM newscast at least. It included footage of the crowd and of the vehicles in the caravan pulling in. What a warm and welcome reception you all provided to our traveling group.

Have you considered writing a letter to explain about the Wall, the Navy Memorial and the Capitol steps?

It's going out today and here it is!

You're invited to the Gathering of Eagles (Tucson) at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Craycroft and Golf Links Gate or Swan Gate on 03/17/2007 10:00 am to 1:00 PM.to 1:00 am.

We're going to defeat them again! Last year in Tucson on March 18th for this annual "anti-war" event, 100 patriotic Tucsonans occupied the Military Recruiting Center on Speedway to stop a local march of 200 protesters (with participants bused in from as far as Mexico) from vandalizing it. Instead of rampaging through the Center as they had planned they were forced to go across the street and stand there looking crazy. The Tucson Police Department Bicycle Squad kept a watchful eye out and there was no trouble.

This January in Washington DC, Jane Fonda jumped back in to the "anti-war" business in a big way. At the same rally, protesters spray-painted the Capital building after Capital Police were ordered to let them do it, even though the officers had them under control. The next rally on March 17th was scheduled to be near the Vietnam War Memorial! Concerned about this and other reports of war memorial desecrations, veterans started the Gathering of Eagles ( http://www.gatheringofeagles.org ) to protect the Wall. The Gathering has mushroomed into a gigantic rally to support the troops!

Here in Tucson, the "anti-war" faction, organized by the Arizona District Leader for the Communist Party USA, has made a new plan. Stung by last year's stunning defeat, their current scheme to protest the brave men and women of the US Armed Forces at Davis-Monthan Air Base in Tucson. They plan to meet at the Craycroft and Golf Links gate on Saturday, March 17th to picket, give a few propaganda speeches and march over to the Swan and Golf Links gate to picket there for awhile. If they follow their usual Modus Operandi, the "anti-war" radicals will vandalize the sidewalks in front of the military installation.

Why protest a military base, recruiting center or hospital as these groups do? The military doesn't make foreign policy. The answer is that while some in the crowd may want peace and just don't know what they're doing, the leaders are attempting to demoralize our troops and our country to the point of surrender, as Jane Fonda and her friends did in the Vietnam war. Our military won every battle there but lost the "protest war" at home. Brave and victorious Vietnam Veterans came back to be spit on in airports and other travel stations! Will we let this happen again? No!

The Gathering of Eagles - Tucson will meet across the street from this protest and stand peacefully holding signs of troop support and military/American flags. As soon as the protesters move away from any area we will immediately inspect and scrub off sidewalk vandalization. Yes, we will be earlier and stay later than the radicals. Our troops work long hours for us every day under harsh conditions! But even if you can only stay briefly on your way to the Air Show that day it will be appreciated.

The organizers will be there early to set up the large number of flags and banners and "hold the ground." Come at 7:00 - 10:00 am if you would like to help set up and volunteer to help in other ways. Bring a case of water bottles if you can as many Air Show attendees will join us. Also bring a flag or sign of support! Our troops have heard of the Gathering of Eagles and are watching closely. So are politicians. Even the terrorists wonder if this will hurt their cause. Let's show them that American citizens care by standing up for the troops and America! See you there!
