A wonderful Memorial Day post at Bereft's
I read this yesterday, but I believe it is one that should be shared. Serendip is a very good writer and friend. She keeps the world aprised on what is happening in Iran, and she is a true-blue American. Thank you for the wonderful post, Serendip. Have a nice Memorial Day!

GOE: News you can use
April 6, 2007.
Iraq Veteran Tells It Like It Is .
My guest tonight on The Front Line is Paul Couturier, a veteran of the war in Iraq. He is a Captain in the Massachusetts Army National Guard, soon to be promoted to Major. Paul served as a Maintenance Officer with his Guard unit (a Maintenance Battalion HQ) in Iraq; the unit was deployed to southern Iraq from May 2003 to March 2004.

A Message from Captain Larry Bailey, GOE Chairman.
Eagles: On Tuesday night I was interviewed by Jere Beery’s buddy Gene Simes on Stardust Radio. Throughout the interview, Gene tried to get me to agree that GOE and his group, Operation Fire for Effect (I think), were the same organization. Similarly, he tried to get me to endorse “mandatory full funding” for VA.
GOE has no business getting involved in issues that are controversial, even within the veterans community. We have a sacred trust with all of you, and, as a non-partisan organization with a very narrow focus, we will not break that trust. The bottom line is that we are here for one purpose: to counter the anti-American hatred spewed by those who wish to denigrate and dishonor our soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines. Period.

To Our Americans Serving In Iraq .
This ten minute video is one of the best messages to the troops I have ever seen. Many thanks to George Samek for bringing it to our attention (via Ace). And many more thanks to Bob Parks, Navy veteran, for saying everything that needed to be said. [Continue reading. Video included.]

The Eagle Has Landed
Saturday was the day of the Gathering of Eagles, and what a day it turned out to be. Several people have taken amazing pictures, while others have written outstanding articles of the event. We are reminded that Saturday was the 40th Anniversary of some long ago protesters who showed up again, no doubt trying to relive their youth, to try to make a point. This they did.
The point they made was exactly this: No more will the silent majority remain silent while our brave men and women, our country, our freedoms and our liberty are under such grave assault. No more will the communists and Islamists rule our streets. They may rue them, but they shall not rule them!
Here are some of the links you should check out:
Gathering of Eagles: The Day After, by Big Dog.
Malkin Reports on the GOE, by Michelle Malkin.
Miracle in Washington, by Judi McLeod; Canada Free Press.
Blogburst: Gathering of Eagles--30,000 strong, by Michelle Malkin. Must see pictures.
Hot Air.
Old War Dogs, Bill.
The Day We Took Our Country Back -- Part 2, Bill.
Gathering of the Crows, Big Dog.
Video: Gathering of Eagles in DC, Little Green Footballs.
Update: WOW! by The Grunt.
Update II: My friend over at Red Hunter has more pics of the day. He lives right there in the battleground for American hearts and minds. The place? Washington DC. I know it is rarely referred to as such, but isn't it the truth? Is this the place most of the media pay attention? Why? To change our minds and discourage us about the GWOT and any program the Republicans try to implement. (Albeit the Republicans are terrible at getting their message out. Sometimes I wonder if they have one anymore!)
