Desite the shattered dreams of the moonbats, the veterans of the parade succeeded to march from the gathering place near the Connecticut State Capital , through the arches of Bushnell Park, Up Asylum Street, right turn onto Main, and past the reviewing stand across the street from the Hartford Athaneum. While marching past, the announcer proudly proclaimed the presence of THE GATHERING OF EAGLES, and rightly described us as patriots whose desire was to honor all veterans who served honorably and to honor those in uniform now.

Wonderful after-action report, Race! I'm so sorry we couldn't join you (family issues). I'll ping everyone on my CT list to this thread...

Thank you for YOUR service, Veteran. :o)

SOrry, but I was unable to attend with the PGR unit. my back is so bad (has been all weekend) that I can barely stand without very bad pain, and with the wife bedridden, I had to do everything around the house, all errands, get her into and out of her wheelchair,e tc., so that I had no rest. (I know, wah-wah-wah)

had I been able to stand for more than ten seconds without having to hug a wall, I would have attended.
