I got this bulletin today and it made me sad to think that people care so little about our soldiers and their sacred places.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Vietnam veterans will be
gathering in Washington, D.C., on Saturday, March 17, 2007, to protect the
Vietnam Veterans Memorial (The Wall) and other war memorials from
desecration by protesters attending a so-called antiwar rally being held
that day adjacent to The Wall. The veterans intend to prevent a recurrence
of what happened at a similar event on January 27, 2007, when protesters
spray-painted the Capitol and spat on a disabled Iraq vet.
"A Gathering of Eagles," as the veterans are calling their effort, is
being joined by other patriotic groups including Rolling Thunder, Military
Order of the Purple Heart (MOPH), Move America Forward and
FreeRepublic.com. Those organizations are encouraging their members and
supporters to protect The Wall and to stand up for their brothers and
sisters in arms in Iraq.
The announcement by International ANSWER, the communist Workers World
Party front group organizing the antiwar rally on March 17, that their
rally would be held "...at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial (Constitution
Gardens)" has provoked a visceral reaction from U.S. veterans who are
vowing not to let the anti-American left do to this generation of military
men and women what was done to the Vietnam War generation.
Vietnam veterans COL Harry Riley, USA (Ret.), and CAPT Larry Bailey,
USN (Ret.), are heading up "A Gathering of Eagles." They have set a
standard of lawful, non-violent, non-confrontational behavior for veterans
gathering to protect The Wall.
Away from The Wall, veterans and other patriotic Americans will gather
in permitted areas on Henry Bacon Drive and Constitution Avenue to voice
their support for our troops and for victory in Iraq, Afghanistan and
elsewhere in the war on terror.
