Be Grateful You’re an American!
There may well have been more of us than them. The “10s of thousands” of America hating commies turned out to be around 2000 by most guestimates. There were easily that many leather-jacketed veterans. What a sight to behold!
Naturally, I got very few good pics… I didn’t have a memory card in my camera until late in the day. DOH! what an idiot!!!!! Anyway, my story will pick up where the moonbats leave their hippie ghetto and start marching towards Memorial Bridge.
The “Good Guys” weren’t allowed to stand on the bridge which had been closed to traffic. Seems we didn’t have a permit for the bridge so we lined the road approaching it and both sides of the entrance. There were many, many more people who had crossed the bridge earlier to stand and taunt the commies on the Arlington Cemetary side.

I wish I could have gotten an aerial view ’cause there wasn’t anyplace to take a pic that showed all of the veterans and troop supporters. This is just a fraction of the people that lined the roadway waiting for the scumbags to prance by.
The hippies started across with just a dribble. They seemed genuinely intimidated by the throngs of angry veterans who shouted “Traitor!” and other less savory messages.
This young head full of mush got one veteran pretty riled up.
The veteran responding with “Give me a kiss right here!”.
Here are some assorted asshats and traitors and smelly unwashed hippies.

They just have to drag a coffin around at these blood fests. I hope the asshole dragging this one is haunted day and night by the brave Marine whose photo he plastered on the side of it!!!!
Update: Carrie emailed a link to this article from MilitaryTimes.com which sheds some light on the terribly deranged father of the deceased Marine. WARNING - you may need some Pepto after reading it.
Thank you Lcpl Alexander Arredondo for being an OUTSTANDING AMERICAN!
And then there was this merry little band of patriots!

Leta, SammyD, Maj Pain, Taco Mamma, Danang68, and somebody else.
See Michelle Malkin’s post, Gathering of Eagles–30,000 strong , for great commentary and links to all of the coverage from the New Media!
I had to snag this pic from Right on the Right. It kicks ass!

Good stuff GN. Thanks for your help today!!!!!!
March 18th, 2007 at 3:10 am
OUTSTANDING!!!
As far back as my 52 year-old memory can take me, this event is the FIRST that the Silent Majority got up OFF their #%@$@#@&^ butts and overcame the Vocal Minority.
OUTSTANDING!!

Thanks for sharing the pics!! My heart is with our patriots this weekend!
March 18th, 2007 at 6:19 am
HEHEHE the more I see pics like this, the more glad I am that I did not become anti war. I don’t like war, but those people are not what I want to be.
March 18th, 2007 at 8:46 am
Hey!! I just sent you an email…:)
Great coverage, commentary and pics!
March 18th, 2007 at 8:58 am
Thanks for staying up and posting the GN. What a day! What a day! PROUD to be an American - PROUD to know all of you guys. DAMN PROUD of our military past and current. Are you thawed out yet?
March 18th, 2007 at 9:20 am
Thanks for the great photos. Looking forward to seeing more of the Eagles. Those of us who couldn’t be there appreciate yall hanging tough in the cold.
March 18th, 2007 at 9:51 am
I hope the guys in Iraq and Afghanistan can feel the LOVE and the roar! Great picture! You guys are wonderful! Great post Gunnutt!
March 18th, 2007 at 9:55 am
What Gunnutt failed to point out was the popularity of her inventive “spit shields”!!! People constantly came up wanting to take my picture with the shields and I’m sure she had the same experience
It was an awesome experience and one I will NEVER forget!!

The anti-Amerians look like street people! Was that Rosie with the sign that said 9-11 was an inside job? Idiots, Inc!
Good idea, GN, for the spit shield! Thanks to all who went and stood in the cold! You made this American proud!
March 18th, 2007 at 1:00 pm
Would it be a way to send your post to “my” guys in A-stan and Iraq? They have blocks on the Internet so they cannot access any blogs. I told some of the troops yesterday about GE and they didn’t have a clue. I want them to know that people support them. Even in the bad weather
Thank you guys for being there.
March 18th, 2007 at 3:36 pm
Thank you for the great pictures and the great coverage! I’m so proud of all of you!!
March 18th, 2007 at 8:38 pm
Damn Good weekend. I am so proud of you all.
March 18th, 2007 at 8:39 pm
Agenieszka the Computer Nazis on my work network did the same thing they blocked all destinations marked blog.
SemperGratus still works cause they think it’s a website.
A few others are the same way … go for the locations that don’t have blog in the address.
Hope that works.
March 18th, 2007 at 9:24 pm
Excellent pics and commentary!
See you Friday
March 18th, 2007 at 9:55 pm
Thank you for the Great Photos and posting what the news would not show us.
Great idea on the Spit Shield.
March 18th, 2007 at 10:21 pm
Jim - GN emailed me her post in PDF format (or sth like that lol) so I was able to e-mail it to them. Thanks!
GN - you should patent the Spit Shield.

Dude, why didn’t you introduce yourself?! Didn’t realize we had met and didn’t know it. What a great time. by the way, I never got my peace kisses.

Great report, GN. Sorry I missed you. Did see Dr. Raoul though, always a treat!

GN thanks for all you do, the pictures are great! Thank you for making my heart swell with PRIDE!
March 20th, 2007 at 12:24 am
Gee, I wonder who the somebody else in the picture was.
You’re all the best!
March 21st, 2007 at 4:18 pm
GN thank you, yet again for all that you do!! That pic is terrific….even of the unidentified woman;-)
March 21st, 2007 at 9:52 pm
Wonderful coverage!
Hmmm….that unidentified patriot looks awfully familiar. LOL
March 22nd, 2007 at 12:58 pm
Great work! Thanks for helping to spread the word that there were more people there than just those dirty, smelly hippies! Keep up the good work you guys.
