We stand up for those, Not here at the Wall; Their Valor etched in stone,
We stand up today , for those who can’t hear us say, Welcome Home! Brother! Sister! Welcome Home!
That's How we all Honor Those Brave Eagles gone, Who died on Foreign Shores,
and By Honoring their Great Memory, for all the World to see,
They shall Forever Soar!
A Gathering…” poem by Darth AirBorne
Every one here; I ask your forgiveness- In the effort of trying to get the pictures I have developed so far up as fast as possible for viewing, I am just posting them up here:Title first, then the links to the various Albums/ Sections of the events of the March 17th’s Gathering of Eagles Rally; with only one Picture per Category up so as not to use up F.R.'s BandWidth and then I am posting my own photo-share links.For BEST DETAIL pics-Look at ALBUMS for larger Pixel Sizes. As soon as I do get a chance I promise I will properly display everything, in a more presentable and respectful format.
Thank you for your time in reading my thread. God Bless you all, your families and friends.
PLEASE REMEMBER-On these LINKS the ALBUMS May have 2, 3 PAGES! So look for the PAGE LISTING so as to be able to see all the photos posted!-or you just MIGHT MISS the One YOU were in!
There are also Doubles; in each album; one LARGE Pixel with BEST Details shown- and a SMALLER Pixel: LESS Details but quicker Load-Time to view.

Thank You all for taking the time to look at my collection. Although there is a lot MORE THAT I HAVE!- I WILL POST UP WHEN I CAN!-
I STILL have Videos; of parts of the day-ESPECIALLY the VIDEO of the Libbies TRYING to Break thru the LINE set up By The Eagles to STOP them from getting to the Wall During Their rally!
IMPORTANT: IF YOU GO TO THE LAST SECTION OF PICTURES AND THE ALBUM IS BLANK- IT IS ONLY BECAUSE I WANTED TO POST THAT LINK NOW IN THIS THREAD so it would at least be here in one spot until I finish loading everything.Instead of them being added and possibly Missed 20 replies many pages later.
If anyone has any questions or comments or wanting copies- fell free to PM me- just understand I will be working on getting all this more properly set up-and just like you all- I am hip deep in out side and work projects let alone a lot of BACK Logged responsibilities & issues. Thank You.
But Again--a Big OOH-RAH! To EVERYONE who Sacrificed themselves to come to D.C. on that Weekend- and everyone who were more than Friendly And just Damn GREAT to me personally ! It was a Memory that I will be able to constantly look back on; to give me the energy and drive I will seriously need to face the next year , and to want to be around- give me encouragement, to tough it out til at least 08'. Thank Tou All.

AirBorn, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU......for this wonderful post and for all you do. God bless you, Kristinn, the D.C. Chapter and ALL who worked hard to put together the GOE and All who attended. The world and, mostly, our troops need to know, despite what the MSM reports, there are Americans who support our troops, their mission and our President.
Thanks again!
THANK YOU!
BTTT!
THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!
Excellent photos!
bttt
bump!
Thanks everyone!
I will go back to re-check links and SIZES tonight.
As most Freepers who do “know” me- Thank you all again for your patience IN my “postings”- ( I mean-seriously; I am getting better!- THIS “Thread” Only took me about 30 hours worth of work that a normal person would have done in an hour or so! But I bless God for what I HAVE! and NOT for what I don’t have!)
( Correction on that! Actually- I DO Bless God for what I “DON’T” have!: I may have mnay things wrong- But I
“ D-O-N’T “ Have :
a) MS
b) CP
c) or any number or seriuosly handicapping illnesses that most people are given as their Cross to carry! So considering all that-I am VERY lucky for what are my little problems! compared to some other less fortunate people that I see everyday.)
Anyhow- so far- I AM having a “Good” day today! Yuppie! So maybe it will last til I can double check everything again tonight later!
And DON’T FORGET THE FREEPER DONATION MARATHON!
THE D.C.RALLY- AND many MORE WOULDHAVE never HAPPENED IF WE DIDN’T HAVE FREE REPUBLIC IN THE FIRST PLACE- to go to !!to FIND OUT about these VERY! VERY! Damn IMPORTANT-TO-OUR-NATION! Events that they DO sponsor and the SITE being up for all of us to exchange our News and events!!
I sometimes- late at night- think about what my “life” could/would have been like with and without MANY Things!
But I get STOPPED!-Right in my Tracks! and break out in a cold sweat when I consider a world WITHOUT the “ Free Republic “ !!- the Web-site- and ALL the Great Americans here I have met! and HOPE to continue meeting God Willing.
But I am off topic here!
Thanks again.
And like I DID mention in my original POST- If you DO Find any “Dead” links- that IS because I wanted to at least ADD them int he original THREAD BODY then-( and fill them up later!) Then TRY to add them hetler-skelter 20 or 30 Replies LATER! where no-one might see them added- If you know what I mean.
God Bless- back tosome rest.

You spelled your screen name wrong in the title.
There’s only one ‘airborne’, and I’m it.
Ping to Airborn’s unsinkable enthusiasm!
This was the consumate definition of family.
Amen to that.
I'll ping some other Eagles here... :o)
ping!
