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: http://marines.togetherweserved.com/usmc/photos/246106.jpg

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: http://marines.togetherweserved.com/usmc/photos/246100.jpg

This was the sign she wanted to photograph: http://marines.togetherweserved.com/usmc/photos/245685.jpg

The Honor Roll in attendance today includes: Vanzorge, Questor, Adakar, NavyVet, Fernando, myself, and a family of persons who have a son now serving in the Marine Corps completing his training as a RECON Marine! OOH-RAH!

Great job to all on this Mother's Day. Thanks.

Love all the flags. I see once again the moonbats didn't have any. I'm proud of you all.

Adakar - It appears Race didn't get you name right in the roll call, but thanks also.

Never is. I was on my way down to my brothers house for Mothers Day, dear old Ma is 87 and claims to be a Rat, Heavy Mike Savage fan, explain?

A Guy, in a big ugly truck, gave me the air horn and BIG Thumbs up, over the polite political stickers plastered over my truck. I gave him the thumbs up back, got a W in return, flashed a "V" back, best I could do to help.

I did get interviewed by NBC 30, (Hartford), and they played me about 06:45 this morning. They had a spot of just the commies earlier, but they did this one later.

Interesting observance. It is a wonder you did not see a hundred red and yellow hammer and sickles being waved about.

Great looking FReep. Love the flags and signs. Interesting fountain. Once again it only takes a few with signs of common sense to refute the many crazies.

Looks like a homeless guy is in with the moonbats, asking for some "bread" or someone to "roll him a bomber."

That was a good interview and you definitely came off better than the moonbats. The MSM must be slipping....
