Gathering Of Eagles: S.W.A.C. After Action

SWAC Girl has some great pictures and reports on the Gathering of Eagles Rally they held for the Staunton, Waynesboro, and Augusta County area. They had a great turnout of 150 folks who braved the wind and cold to stand up for America.

Some of the photos are up now and I just couldn't resist stealing this one.



Spank That Donkey posted great video of Gold Star Mom Rhonda Winfield who spoke at the event and a rundown with photos on how they put the rally together.


RightsideVA has a report on the event, also, with lots of photos. Believe it or not a commenter left several negative remarks critical of the event insinuating that new recruits are cripples and felons. You might want to give the spiteful comments a pass, but RightsidesVA's report is a must.

There is a lot to learn from these posts about putting together events in our own communities. It is a lot of work but what a great message to send to our Troops who need the support now more than ever.

Thanks, Flora. I'm just getting around to reading all the reports around the blogosphere and the first place I came to was UCV because I knew you would have great coverage of the D.C. event ... not realizing you had given reported about SWAC's rally. Thanks to you and all those who went in our places to stand in D.C. against the angry Leftists. You did a fantastic job and we're proud of you!
