President George W. Bush

1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW

Washington, D.C. 20500

SUBJECT: An Invitation for the Commander in Chief

Dear President Bush,

As you know there are elements in America that are tearing down our troops and our nation using propaganda, vile accusations, and even physical vandalism. This behavior has generally been going on for several decades without challenge.

For the last year, beginning March 2007, American patriots, Viet Nam and Iraq/Afghanistan veterans, and others who call ourselves “Eagles”, have been peacefully challenging anti-war/anti-America elements. Our efforts are proving successful in the streets, at recruiting stations, in the town square, wherever those that demean, denigrate, distort, deceive, and malign our nation and warriors, gather.

We will again challenge the anti-America crowd on March 14 and 15 in Washington, D.C. An event called Iraq Veterans Against War (IVAW) Winter Soldier II(WSII) Testimony will be held in the D.C. Area. The theory of WSII is that our warriors and government policy is involved with or encouraging atrocities and other criminal activity. This testimony is modeled after Senator John Kerry's 1971 Winter Soldiers Testimony which has been discredited as false. However, to preclude a repeat of the 1971 impact today, to prove such allegation WSII must identify, time, date, place, witnesses, and leadership associated with any criminal activity and do so "under oath" to be considered worthy of investigation.

Eagles Up www.eaglesup.us and others will put “boots on the ground” to challenge and demand truth from the Winter Soldiers II Testimony.

Further, on March 15, 2008, Eagles will conduct a peaceful, permitted march in Washington, DC that reflects a view appreciating, uplifting, with pride in America, for our troops and families... not degrade, demean or denigrate our beloved nation, warriors and families. This will be a grass roots positive event with flags, banners, patriotic music, fellowship, and oriented for the entire family of patriots.

This brings me to the primary reason for my letter to you Mr. President. We would like to invite you, as Commander in Chief, to visit with us on March 15, some time during the morning at our march assembly location just off Constitution Avenue in the shadow of the Washington Monument. Since our efforts are largely focused on “supporting our troops”, your presence would send a strong message of encouragement to our warriors and families.

Your presence would be greatly appreciated.

Very Respectfully,

Harry G. Riley, COL, USA, Ret
