After Action Report
Cannon House Office Bldg Corner
Washington DC
(Click on image for larger view)
I really cannot put into words how absolutely wonderful it is to
stand on the Cannon House Office Bldg corner in support of our
Soldiers and their mission! It is so very important to Step Up
Stand Up and Stick Up For our Soldiers in the very place where
support for them is disgracefully lacking.
As
these Brave Men and Women of our Military Stand For Us And Fight For
Us, IT IS AN HONOR BEYOND WORDS TO STAND FOR THESE NOBLE HEROES!
Now I can tell you that some Congressman walked by us and ignored
us. We don't understand that reaction! We are standing outside a
Congressional Office Building in Washington DC in support of The
United States Military and Their Successful Mission and
Accomplishments in the War On Terror, and some Congressman ignore
us?!
It is the absolute, undeniable truth that Congressmen serve in the
United States Congress and do so because the Greatest Military on
The Face of This Earth provides them the security and freedom to do
so!
My special thanks to members of The Gathering of Eagles for standing
with us. Thank You Chad , Ron, Eva, Bob, Robbie, TJ and The
Chief!!! We played our great patriotic music and we stood proudly
for our SOLDIERS!!! The overwhelming appreciation and support by
passersby is heartwarming and motivating. I can tell you firsthand
that Washington DC is filled with Americans who love and support our
Soldiers. There does seem to be a problem with some Congressmen
showing their patriotism there but we are going to work on that and
we invite them to join us in Supporting Our Soldiers by giving Them
Whatever They Need to Continue on With Their Success! As pointed
out to many Congressman walking by: There were more people killed
in DC last weekend than there were in Baghdad ! I'd say our
Soldiers are doing an excellent job.
We were joined by the Washington DC Free Freak Show known as Code
Pink. They showed up on the corner and surrounded Ron and I
on Tuesday. I'm with Chris Hill (Nat'l Director of GOE) on this, I
have no desire to build bridges to these people, I don't care what
they have to say. When you carry signs like they do, that
read "Thank God For Dead Soldiers", you are as sick and as psycho as
the terrorists who "LIKE" to brutalize and butcher innocent women
and children. These pink people are vagrants who do not seem to
have jobs because they spend their days disrupting hearings,
spitting on Soldiers, and I would like to think, embarrassing those
who support them! They also appear to have so much fun degrading
themselves and those who support them. It is the opinion of many
that they are a disgrace to themselves and anyone who is encouraging
them. Mr. Murtha, I understand you have some Pink Medals bestowed
upon you by this Free Freak Show! Nancy Pelosi, we understand they
spend quite a bit of time in your office?! I will never understand
any member of Congress who is invested in the defeat of America but
when you deny Soldiers their pay and their supplies (especially when
these very Soldiers are in harm's way), and you align yourselves
with pink people who carry signs thanking God for dead Soldiers,
you are invested in the defeat of America and her Brave
Military. This is shameful behavior!
A very special thank you to the Capitol Police. They are the "boots
on the ground" in our nation's Capitol and they do an amazing job.
In my opinion, their level of restraint with regard to Pink
nuisances is remarkable!
The following email sums up our appreciation to all who support our
Brave Men and Women who wear The Uniform.
This was sent to Congressman Gohmert, Congressman Joe Wilson and the
Armed Services Committee, for their gracious hospitality and
kindness to those of us on the Cannon Bldg. corner last week:
It was pretty "hot" on the Cannon Bldg corner this past Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday, "hot" in more ways than one. Thank you
for bringing us cold drinks, but much more than that, thank you so
very very much for your support of our Soldiers! Thank you for your
integrity to take a stand for those who stand for all of us. Thank
you for not deserting our Soldiers. You are the America we all love
and fight for.
A dear Patriot I know who is a retired Navy Chief told me that there
were more people killed in DC last weekend than in Baghdad . Our
Soldiers are awesome Heroes doing a phenomenal job and they darn
sure should get what they need before anyone in that Cannon Bldg
gets what they need! I wonder how the Congressman invested in
defeat in Iraq would be feeling if we, the people, threatened their
pay. I wonder how Nancy Pelosi would feel if we, who employ her,
threatened to take away her gas guzzling SUV and her driver, and
told her to walk the short distance to the Senate Bldg! Many of our
Soldiers work out of tents and they have managed to free two
countries! I am certain that if we laid down on paper the record
accomplishments of our Soldiers in the last 4 years and
compared their record to that of this Congress, certain Congressman
would be so very embarrassed.
Our Soldiers service is noble and just, and thank you for
your acknowledgment of that fact. We are so concerned about the
ungrateful treatment toward our Brave Soldiers (they are spit on as
they attempt to get on public transportation, DC recruiters tires
are regularly slit, the Berkeley Marines are told to get out of
Berkeley and a permit is issued by Berkeley City Council to allow
the Code Pink protesters to harass these gutsy protectors of
our freedom on a weekly basis. The last est slap in our brave
Soldier's face comes from the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, who
credits the success of the surge to the goodwill of the Iranians!!!!
(wait, didn't Nancy just say recently the surge was not a
success???)
We Patriotic Americans are worried about our Sons and Daughters.
Congressman, we cannot thank you enough for all your efforts on
their behalf.
Thank You Again For Standing by our Soldiers, and for your gracious
hospitality. We, The Gathering of Eagles and The Band of
Mothers, will be be back on the corner of the Cannon Bldg. July 8th,
9th and 10th. If you know any Patriots wanting to stand with us,
please pass this email on.
I am afraid I may have missed some of the grateful Congressman who
stopped to thank us for coming out and reassured us that they will
continue to stand for our Brave military men and women. If you know
who they are, please pass this email onto them so they know we
grateful to them for their hospitality and for standing for our Sons
and Daughters.
God Bless You Congressmen, God Bless Our Soldiers, and God Bless The
USA!
