Operation America Rising, Run for the Wall, Flying with the Eagles By Judi McLeod
Saturday, May 12, 2007
If you look up, you can see them: The eagles that perpetually soar over Washington, D.C.
Eagles took a permanent place in the skies over Washington on March 17, 2007Ñthe day when pro-troop Americans finally turned the tide.
The Gathering of Eagles, whose members made a miracle in Washington on St. Patrick's Day, opened the floodgates and left them open for the Silent Majority, who soon took up their noble battle cry.
Standing down the anti-war crowd at the Wall, they pulled out the stopper from the bottle called American patriotism for once and for all.
Thanks to the steely determination of a ragtag group that cried out a clarion call to fellow Americans, "Come protect the nation's War Memorials," a revival started moving inexorably toward Cindy Sheehan's way.
A flame was lit and flickers to this day.
Up in years, Gathering of Eagles members knew something that the media never did: Patriotism is catching. Ever since their Washington stand, patriotism has been traveling house-to-house, town-to-town, and state-to-state.

After Action report: May 13, 2007. New Haven Connecticut.
Today, May 13, 2007, members of THE GATHERING OF EAGLES met at the New Haven Green to counter a Mother’s Day protest held by a local left-wing group protesting the war on terror and our president.
We arrived at about 12 Noon and stayed until the so-called Peace Persons left their area.
The GOE had about 8 persons who were notified on short notice to appear, while the left wing group has made it a habit to appear at this location for some time. Their attendance today was about 50 persons.
This shot shows the hippies on the right:

Upon arrival, One person who falsely claimed to be a concerned veteran and started arguments on the GOE website appeared, and true to his online statements, was an 80-year old man, claiming U.S. Navy veteran status. His name on the forum is LENZIMM.
He claimed to not be with the so-called Peace Crowd, but he was NOT with us, the very group whose forum he wrote about his plans to attend on.
While there, we were approached by several of the so-called peace people who tried to engage in debate. I personnaly refused at first, but reluctantly responded with facts which the so-called peace persons could not refute in their own defense.
This woman came to photograph one of the signs we bore:
