Michelle Malkin has the run down on the veteran’s show of support yesterday in Washington. Via Gathering of Eagles:
“What an outstanding day! The Eagles soared!
You should be very proud of your fellow veterans, families, and supporters. There’s so much to tell, and we encourage you to post your experiences in the the comments.
In the meantime, two items of business: 1) we have a gallery open for you to upload your digital photos to the website. That way you can share your photos with others. See the tab in the top right corner of the site. 2) the National Parks Service called with their official estimate of the Eagle turn-out today…
30,000!
Fox News reported today that the anti-war protesters had significantly less than they expected. However, they are erroneously reporting that the Eagles were there in “equal numbers”. The truth is that we outnumbered them by at least three to one!
Consider…ANSWER had a year to plan their well-publicized event and were hoping for around 100,000. They actually drew about 5,000-10,000, according to various news reports today. The Gathering of Eagles, on the other hand, had about six weeks to plan an unprecedented response - and with no advertising, no publicity, no celebrity or political endorsement, no news coverage, and no big money, we had about 30,000 boots on the ground!
The volunteers poured themselves into this historic event, and all of you who attended gave so much to be there. I‚Äôll stop here and let your words speak for themselves.”
Absolutely fantastic. This disabled vet throws up a salute!
Of course as noted you wouldn’t know from the biased MSM reporting which as GOE noted tried to make the antiwar numbers a LOT larger than they were. Fact is that just about every antiwar protest is a fraction in number of the one preceeding it.
Which is why I tell you that despite what the media and their buds on the left try to tell us America is NOT an antiwar nation. Never has been and never will. We have ungrateful malcontents who might as well take a trip over overseas to one of their favorite socialist countries of choice and stay there.
Start with Sheehan. A the biggest pimple on the butt of America since Jane Fonda.
Here is a video from the GOE yesterday!
