The Vietnam Veterans are gathering

Those on the New Left who think that Vietnam War vets are ineffectual old war horses are in for a big surprise. A group of these veterans, calling themselves “A Gathering of Eagles” is planning on countering the New Left’s planned march on the Vietnam Memorial Wall. Here, I’ll let The US Veteran Dispatch explain:

Leftist activists who march to the Pentagon next month will discover that their path won’t be as clear as it has been in the past.

The group, led by Cindy Sheehan, Jane Fonda, Ramsey Clark and their ilk, plan to gather March 17 at the Vietnam Memorial Wall to begin a march to protest America’s involvement in the Iraq war. The date marks the fourth anniversary of the war’s beginning.

This time, however, protestors will see objectors if they spit on Iraqi veterans again, or throw paint on a war memorial. This time, they will encounter a buzz saw of Vietnam veterans and supporters who will gather to protect the Wall, and show their support for U.S. troops. The counter-protestors are calling themselves the Gathering of Eagles.
