Come Welcome the Move America Forward Caravan in D.C. Tonight.
Gathering of Eagles partner Move America Forward has been leading a cross-country caravan of Gold and Blue Star families, veterans and other patriotic Americans that arrives tonight in Washington, D.C. after a week long trek that began in San Francisco last Thursday.
Local and early arriving Eagles are encouraged to greet the caravan when it arrives at the Hyatt Regency Washington on Capitol Hill, 400 New Jersey Avenue, NW.
Please plan to greet them between 5:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. They’re scheduled to depart from Richmond, Va., at 3 p.m. and head up I-95 to D.C. That’s a bad stretch of road for afternoon commuters so that’s why the arrival time is a bit sketchy.
The Move America Forward caravan has collected over TEN THOUSAND American flags from proud patriots across the country to send to units in Iraq and Afghanistan as a message of support for our troops and their mission fighting the war on terror.
Move America Forward
THURSDAY, MARCH 15TH
6:00 PM :: Arrive in Washington, D.C. - Media & supporters can welcome the caravan into Washington, D.C. as it arrives at the Hyatt Regency Washington On Capitol Hill hotel. The caravan participants will overnight at this location: Hyatt Regency Washington On Capitol Hill 400 New Jersey, NW Washington D.C. 20001

I had to leave the gathering in Richmond at 10 minutes to 3, so I can't say when they left. It was a small bunch, perhaps 30+ people, in Monroe Park at Virginia Commonwealth University (which is on spring break).
I did get an opportunity to meet some fellow Gold Star parents and say a few words. It was held in the park right there at VCU where my son went to engineering school for two years.
Hope to see many of you on Saturday in D.C.

God walks with the Gathering of Eagles.
Saturday, the Gathering of Eagles face an enemy (Liberal anti-war mindless robots) as destructive as the enemy they faced in Vietnam. IMO, today's anti-war, anti-American Liberals are reprehensible traitors.
God bless all our American patriots. Those that are facing home-grown enemies on Saturday and the American patriots facing our enemies in Iraq and Afganistan.
To: USMCWife6869
No need to thank me.
Thank your husband for me,and thank you. My brothers unit in 1991,read the last paragraph,these guys are good;)
