Since the MSM seem to have in place a general media blackout of the Gathering of Eagles, anyone out there gonna keep us posted with the numbers? Pics? Videos?
BTTT!
Good luck!

I see shadows on the ground--that's means at least a little bit of sunshine to temper the cold...
bump so I can follow through the day....
Hopefully there are plenty of video cameras scattered throughout our gathering ready to capture any trouble that the anti's may start. Our side will always need visual proof against the lying "word" of the lefties. We'll be here waiting for more pictures and reports, especially for a picture of the "sea of Red, White and Blue" Flag City!
thank you for this thread.. Last minute MAJOR van problems prevented my trip. Bummer.. but glad you have a thread up with pix.
who is Jeff ...with the pix.. FReeper maybe?
over here
There are THOUSANDS of Patriots there! I couldn't make it up to DC so I put in a call to her on her cell phone. She said it's a muddy mess but they've got a stage and quite a number of speakers addressing the crowd. Good sound system too...I could here part of a speech of a mother talking about her son who considered it an honor to serve in the 101st Airborne in Iraq.
Anglewood also reported that ABC, CNN, FOX are there and there was a helicopter circling overhead. Unknown if it was media or NPS on patrol.
MARINE ONE also flew overhead at one point!
The memorials WERE PROTECTED! The Vietnam Wall has been guarded for three days by GOE and the NPS has a metal detector set up at the entrance to the Wall. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
There are thousands of American Flags set up on the National Mall and I imagine it's quite a sight.
I talked to her at 12:30PM and they said the stage presentation was wrapping up and they were going to disperse to their permitted areas along the Commie death march route. The wind is howling and she didn't know if they'd be able to deploy their larger banners.
I'll report more as I recieve information from onsite.
EAGLES AND FREEPERS UP!

Looks like a good turnout. Considering that has to be the guard detail at the Lincoln Memorial. I notice from maps at the GOE site, they had a section of the sidewalk *on the Memorial side* of the "parade" route of the Red Diaper Babies, aka ANSWER, I'd expect that is in the nature of a detachment, not the main body of the Good Guys.
Thank you for this thread.
Update on Fox right now.....
Fox is just saying the war protesters have about 5,000 marchers. Their permit was for 30,000. Heh heh.
Thank you kindly! :-)
Eagles Up! :*)
I was feeling so sad because I was supposed to be there--Mother Nature intervened--but these marvelous photos help to make up for it.
I can only say if I were on the other side just the sight of those veterans would make me think twice very rapidly--I'd be running in the opposite direction!!
Fox News has had some great shots and estimate that rather than the "hundreds of thousands" there are probably 6,000!!
EAGLES UP!
Bump

There are basketball games on TV...
