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.

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:
