| Friends,
As Ive suggested on many occasions, the only way to support our nation, our troops, our fallen, and make our point, send our message, convince people of what we stand for, is putting our boots on the ground, or should I say rubber on the target?
Weve done that over the last year throughout America which has made a frightening and worrisome impression on the anti-America crowd. Next month, March 14 and 15 is a critically important event in the life of America, our troops, and keeping honor with out fallen. (See www.eaglesup.us for detail)
Iraq Veterans Against War (IVAW), Code Pink, Act Now to Stop War and End Racism (A.N.S.W.E.R), Vietnam Veterans Against War (VVAW), CAIR, and God only knows the dozens of others, will try to paint our current generation of troops with the same broad lying brush that John Kerrys Winter Soldiers Testimony of 1971 falsely painted our Viet Nam warriors.
Our message to these purveyors of sedition is firm and uncompromising. Those that offer atrocity or illegal policy testimony at the Winter Soldiers II Testimony next month at the National Labor College must meet our threshold of validation. Each witness must: sign a SF-180 which will authorize public viewing of military records, identify atrocities by time, date, place, witnesses, leadership/supervisors, and do so under oath. It would also be reasonable to hear why atrocity(s), if testimony is given, was not officially reported at time of event. All testimony that fails to meet our threshold will be viewed void and false.
Read the link below........the hate America crowd knows were coming. I hope they realize well keep coming, and keep coming, until America wakes up and totally slams the door shut on their vile approach and all those that support them, politicians included.
Americans are standing up for the first time in many decades....the sacrifice of our sons, daughters, dads and moms is too great to allow a minority rabble to stain, denigrate, and distort their honorable and patriotic service to our nation.
We (includes you and me) wont allow the backs of our warriors to go unprotected as was the case during the Viet Nam war...well(includes you and me) be there.....boots on the ground, take it to the bank. NEVER AGAIN........the 60s are over....Eagles determination and courage now the rule.

Sorry about the late heads-up. The person who was going to handle this has been dealing with an ill family member. I was asked to post this info so FReepers are aware. YOU ARE INVITED TO TAKE PART IN THIS EVENT!!
Apologies to the Colonel on the gorgeous graphic not coming through. I am still rusty at this.
For those who want on or off the ping list, please FReepmail me. (and THANK YOU for assistance DR!)
EAGLES UP!
Race, do you have a PING list for MAF? Will they be present?
oh how i wish i could be there...telling you i’ll be there in spirit just seems so trivial.
We could use some members of GOE and Rolling Thunder tomorrow as we rally in support of our recruiters here in DC.
Is anyone else having that problem?
I know the feeling. I was there last year at this time and am going to miss it a great deal!! Hang in there...
Yes
I am having trouble as well...will check into it. Thanks for the notice on it.
If anyone is interested in joining us, please freepmail me for the details.
I am there.
I can get the first link to work but the Eagles link won’t work for me. Spirit, do you have any ideas?
I'm really looking forward to seeing you. I think Angelwood may join us for a while at least.
2 links had a error message last one did not.
[Mrs T]
As stated on the GOE site, they are taking a support role in the rally. I would seek the major information from the first link, that of EAGLES UP.
(You've got mail)
Rolling Thunder Washington DC support
This next one is one of the Hate America website:
http://militarylies.typepad.com/military_lies/2008/02/winter-soldi-12.html
The last one seems to open up ok. They all had on the end of them in the code these symbols:( "; ) which messed up all but the last one. And it has it's own wierdness, lol
This is the graphic:
If it still doesn't show up, it should when this URL http://www.freerepublic.com/perl/caption/1150/image is put into the address bar.
::grin:: understood. I wasn’t asking anyone to change loyalties just figure that the information on the EAGLES UP site may be more on top of things since they are playing a major role this round. Not trying to get into politics, ok?! Appreciate all your help!!
I'm not either, this has nothing to do with politics as far as I'm concerned, nor should it. This is about America.
All The Best!!!
you are cool. thanks for all your help!
thanks, Sync!
BTTT! Thanks for the ping/post.
Cool
It didn’t come up for you either?
Do me a favor if it didn’t, and go to my last post and right click and “show picture” and let me know if it works.
Thanks!
The mods fixed the messed up links in the body of your article, so they will work when people click on them now.
FR Mods rock!
YOU ROCK, Smooth! ::grin::
Post #25 contains the graphic that is supposed to be at the top of the thread! Thanks again, Smooth!
THANKS to the Mods!

Hi, thanks for the ping.
Looks like the link is fixed but for the benefit of anyone not clear on the concept, here is a tiny file to keep handy as FREEPURL.txt on your desktop:
The way to link a URL is to do this:
<$$a h$$ref=$$”enter the url here”$$>enter descriptive text or title here<$$/$$a$$>
The way to post a photo is similar:
<$$img src=$$http$$://www.$$ENTER PHOTO LOCATION HERE>
but carefully DELETE the $$ which are inserted here so that the commands don’t act like normal, for the sake of showing you how to do it.
Two of us from down south are headed your way for tomorrow.
Hoping to be there with you on the 18th, Basil.
Absolutely fantastic! Can’t wait to see you-—and we do need you! Looking forward to it!
Did I mention that Doctor Raoul will also be joining us?
It will be great to see you again. Need a ride? ;*)
<a href="enter url here">enter descriptive text or title here</a>
That being said, the URL for the graphic posted in the body of the article is apparently one that doesn't hotlink well.
I still haven't been able to get anyone to tell me if they right click on it and click on "show picture" if it shows up or not.
Shows up fine fo me!
HTML hint:
squish these together: & l t ; (& g t ;) and they will make these: <and>
lt= less than, gt= greater than
I’m staying at the Windsor Park Hotel —2116 Kaloram Rd NW Supposedly that is close to the Mall.
*sigh*
“Father” knows best...
BTTT
I shall be there again with Col Riley and Eagles Up!
Received a FReepmail that an update is coming soon.
Thanks Mountain Flower. I heard that we are changing the march route. Anything else, keep us posted.
Please forward to ALL and if you can, Donate $25.00, $15.00, $10.00 or whatever you can afford to help out Eagles Up, Inc. It would be greatly appreciated. Read below from our Founder and Leader...............Colonel Harry Riley, USA (Ret).
Subject: IVAW/Eagles Muster, March 14/15, Washington, DC UPDATE
Friends,
A large number of Eagles are spreading wings, stirring the air in anticipation of swooping into Washington, DC next month (just 17 days) in support of our nation, our troops, and honoring our fallen and all families. We are pleased by encouragement from Rolling Thunder.
As you know we have two goals:
1. To counter and challenge IVAW Winter Soldier II (WSII) Testimony on March 14 by demanding "truth". The theory of WSII is that our warriors and government policy is involved with or encouraging atrocities and other criminal activity...to prove such allegation, WSII must identify, time, date, place, witnesses, leadership, associated with any criminal activity and do so "under oath" to be considered worthy of investigation.
2. Our second goal is to participate in a peaceful march in Washington that reflects a view of appreciation, uplifting, pride in America, our troops and families... not degrade, demean or denigrate our beloved nation, warriors and families. This will be a positive event with flags, banners, patriotic music, fellowship, and oriented for the entire family of patriots.
We have our official permits, have made arrangements for toilet facilities, working on medical support, security will be well in hand by National Park Service, march location is easy to find (see attached map)........all details are at www.eaglesup.us under Eagles Muster on the left of the home page.....please visit.
Many of you have asked how you can help financially.......well now is the time. Some of the Eagles Up staff are currently carrying most of the financial load in order to meet the needs of our fellow participants safety and comfort as well as requirements of the District of Columbia regulations that must be satisfied.
There are two options to donate. Go to www.eaglesup.us and look on the right side of the home page if you prefer to use a credit card. If you prefer to send a check or money order make payable to Eagles Up Inc. and mail to
Eagles Up Inc.
PO Box 202
Mequon, WI 53092.
If you need more information, click "contact" at the top right of www.eaglesup.us home page.
It should be noted that all funds are used strictly for event needs, none for personal use of Eagles Up staff. All funds are carefully recorded and available for public review as required. We are not able to offer tax deductible status at this time, so your donation will simply be a gift of thanksgiving in support of our mission.
We are beginning to turn the negative atmosphere of the "hate America" crowd toward a positive and well intentioned display of support for "America,our troops, families and fallen" ....it's the right thing to do.
Our efforts depend on a team approach...a winning reflection of "boots on the ground" at the backs of our warriors and families as they sacrifice so much for us.
God bless you............
Harry Riley, COL, USA, Ret

You have to go to the link above to see the route map.DC - March 2008
It won't embed here at FR. (At least I can't make it do that...) It moves around to show the whole route.
Thanks Synchro. I passed it on to my Air Force site. Eagles Up had 2 versions of the map listed ... one in pdf format and one in png format. I was able to save the png map, downsize it and post it at Air Force - Together We Served.
I think the problem is that FR does not allow embedded thingies
I tried posting the source code for it and it just didn't show up.
It can be seen easily at the link though.
HEY, you got the jump on me! I have 5 different updates to post, now I will have to see which ones you covered for me! I couldn't get to it til now.
