A little more motivation for' Gathering of Eagles in DC. from one who has witnessed firsthand what happens when radicals gain the upper hand: " A little piece of history about the antiwar movement: After serving with the 101st Abn Div in Vietnam and returning to the States in 1969, I was stationed at Ft Belvoir, VA, just outside Washington DC. After joining the Military Police Corps, I became a Military Police Investigator (MPI). On April 22, 1971, during the Winter Soldier Investigation, John Kerry, Vietnam Veterans of the War (VVAW) leader, testified before Senate Committee hearings accusing Honorable Vietnam...

Agents Provocateurs? Military personnel speaking out. http://www.antimedia.us/posts/1162078110.shtml For what I think is the first time in our country's history, military personnel on active duty are speaking out against an ongoing war. The effort is led (supposedly) by a Navy seaman who is a Photographer's Mate Airman on the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt. Seaman Jonathan W. Hutto, Sr. says that he decided it was time to speak out against the war. “We’ve given enough,” said Hutto, who joined the Navy almost three years ago. “We’ve sacrificed too much at this point.” He said he is not a pacifist, but he...

This Gathering of Eagles will come to be known as the "Woodstock" of Patriotism. Dear America: I have seen Vietnam Veterans and their family's gather at Rolling Thunder by the Hundreds of thousands, At Melbourne, Florida for the kickoff of the year's Vietnam Veteran reunions. At a thousand small towns in between both coasts for a day of festivities and unabashed patriotism ... At Kokomo Indiana for the last, all Veteran's reunion of the year. I have ridden coast to coast and found literally thousands of Vet groups all working independently of each other, but all working towards a common...

"Stick Your Yellow Ribbon Up Your SUV" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmsOIjzQ1V8 Anyone with high blood pressure may want to have your medication handy before you view this! Apparently some folks think that serving your country and losing a limb is funny and it's "cool" to mock and ridicule them for their personal entertainment. Disgusting! X-rated for language and very irreverent, disrespectful, and classless, attitude toward our troops. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmsOIjzQ1V8

The Wall to Demonstrators How much more do you want of us? We wait here in dismay as you plan to disrupt our serenity, your placards screaming of ‘Peace’. Don’t you know there is no war here – only blessed release from the pain and agony of our journey to this hallowed place? Don’t sully it with your anger – do not demean it with your slogans. Here, there is commiseration, not turmoil, solace, not confrontation.Take your anger to those who caused it. There is no place for it here. We have endured enough. Leave us to commune in harmony...

Hoosiers react to monument vandalism Canal Walk in Indianapolis Medal of Honor Monument. *2005 Flashback: These are the type vermin that will be at The Anti-War Rally At The Wall on this St.Patrick's Day. Will You????* Kris Kirschner/Eyewitness News Indianapolis, March 30 - Wednesday seemed like a normal spring day at the Canal Walk. But for visitors to the Medal of Honor memorial, a dirty secret marred an otherwise beautiful place, where vandals did a lot of damage. Glass panels on the monument were smashed early Tuesday morning. Obscene words about President Bush and Gov. Daniels, along with peace symbols...

A LOT of parallels to current events here for some of the younger folks who do not know what REALLY went on in the past, and WILL go on now ... IF we do not stand-up and speak-up. What did the North Vietnamese leadership think of the American antiwar movement? Bui Tin, a former colonel in the North Vietnamese army, answers these questions in the following excerpts from an interview conducted by Stephen Young, a Minnesota attorney and human-rights activist [in The Wall Street Journal, 3 August 1995]. Bui Tin, who served on the general staff of North Vietnam's army,...

Gathering of Eagles is an act of love by thousands of veterans who choose to honor the sacrifice of the fallen by guarding the memorials from those who would desecrate them on March 17th in a “peaceful” anti-war rally in Washington D.C. It is also an act of war, a call to action for every American who chooses to stand and say “No more!” to those who would spit on our veterans and ridicule their service to our nation. We invite you to join us March 17th, as we stand together as one to ensure that the sacrifices of our...

Passing the word received on the next anti-war debacle to be held, of all places, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial! As the email below states we need to enlist legions of veterans to form a wall of honor to prevent the wall's use as a backdrop and defilement by the radial left. It is a place of honor, not a stage prop for protesters. It should be respected and revered not prostituted for political purpose.(Ala, Slick Willy one Memorial Day) Antiwar Rally Set For Vietnam Veterans Memorial http://answer.pephost.org/site/News2?abbr=ANS_&page=NewsArticle&id=8137 http://answer.pephost.org/site/PageServer?pagename=ANS_M17flyers Are we ready to mount Operation Honor Locked In Stone to counter...

I urge you all to contact Mr. Whitefield and 'thank him" for his enlightened opinion. PaulWhitefield@latimes.com Apocalypse Again Call Up The Vietnam Vets. Where else can Bush get 21,500 trained soldiers for his 'surge'? LISTENING TO President Bush's speech on Iraq earlier this month, my first thought was: "Where the heck are we going to get 21,500 more soldiers to send to Iraq?" Our Reserves are depleted, our National Guard is worn out, our Army and Marine Corps are stretched to the limit. Then it hit me: Re-up our Vietnam War veterans and send them. They're trained. They're battle-hardened. Many...

-- Oppose McCarthy Gun Control Bill, H.R. 297 Time to rally the troops and contact your legislators! Tuesday, January 23, 2007 The first major anti-gun bill of the new Congress has already been introduced, and it could prove to be the most serious threat to the Second Amendment we face under the new congressional leadership. On the first full day of the new Congress, anti-gun Rep. Carolyn McCarthy introduced H.R. 297, the most massive expansion of the Brady law since it passed in 1993. This is a bill you helped kill last year, but the new House leadership will be...

Points that those (Democrat Politicians) who agree with, and have not denounced,Kerry's comments on the dumb troops to consider? 1. Could an "educated" Democrat Sherrod Brown do a "dumb" Navy captains job to navigate and steer his aircraft Carrier into the wind to lunch and recover a strike flight of F-18's on their missions; and safely recover them after a successful mission of taking out critical targets? (He sat out VN in College IIRC) 2. Could an "educated" Democrat Ted Strickland command a team of "dumb" Special Forces Recon Troops in a HALO (High Opening Low Opening _for stealth) parachute...

''You know, education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don't, you get stuck in Iraq.'' -- Sen. John Kerry WASHINGTON (Nov. 1) - The White House and Sen. John Kerry traded their harshest accusations since the 2004 presidential race on Tuesday, with President George W. Bush accusing the Democrat of troop-bashing and Kerry calling the president's men hacks who are "willing to lie." The war of words, tough even for this hard-fought campaign season, came after Kerry told...

For reference: ALL votes and facts are documented in public records. Brown's Extreme Leftist Record In Support of Gay Marriage Cleveland Democrat, Sherrod Brown is pro-gay marriage, pro-gun control, pro-labor, pro-choice, pro-universal health care -- and unabashedly active on all these fronts, Ohio's reddish tinge be damned." Most Ohioans Disagree With Brown's Stance: 61% Of Ohioans Voted For An Amendment To The Ohio Constitution, Issue 1, Which Recognizes Marriages Only Between One Man And One Woman. (Ohio Secretary Of State Website, www.sos.state.oh.us, Accessed March 16, 2006) Brown Was One Of Only 67 House Members To Vote Against The Defense Of...

WHERE DO YOU STAND, MR. STRICKLAND? Most of Thursday's program focused on the question of Ted Strickland's stance on pedophilia, based on his vote on a 1999 House Resolution. The language in HR 107 is not ambiguous--it's a complete condemnation of a study that suggests pedophilia might have some positive effects on children. The United States House of Representatives felt so strongly that a stand needed to be taken against such a suggestion that they came together in a bipartisan effort to pass the resolution 355-13. Ohio Gubernatorial candidate Ted Strickland was one of the 13 who decided he could...
