Anarchist anti-war protestors spray-painted the steps of the US Capitol in January. Another anti-war protest being organized by a coaltion of radical leftist and anarchist groups is "gathering near the Vietnam Veterans Memorial" on March 17th.

Although the organizers deny any intention to "defile" the Memorial, I will be joining A Gathering of Eagles, which plans to be present to protect the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.

One key reason our republic succeeds is because of its heroes, our military. Freedom requires constant vigilance and sacrifice, again and again and again.

If you are interested in participating, you can get the necessary information by going to the Move America Forward website. A group of Minnesotans is organizing bus transportation. You can call Lisa at 651-983-1431 for more information. She also has a hotel list.

Thanks to The Move America Forward group for organizing this event. We must ensure that Vietnam and other veterans are remembered as the real heroes they are.
