The Gathering of Eagles need our help. The domestic insurgents have been protesting outside the West Point graduation ceremonies for years. They line West Point Highway with flag draped coffins and banners with disgustingly negative messages to demoralize our graduates and their families. The families of these graduates already have a high anxiety level with their children embarking on a military career in a time of war. The additional stress is unwelcome and unwanted.
For the third year the Gathering of Eagles (GOE) will provide a counterpoint to the insurgents. We will hold flags and signs of encouragement for the graduates, our troops and their families. Their efforts are greatly appreciated.
This Saturday, May 23rd, they ask all who are able to come join them in a show of solidarity and support for our new graduates and their families. We have no prior knowledge of protester activity, but they have been consistent in their protest activity there for so long that it is expected they will be there.
What: Support Our Graduates and their Families Rally
Where: Memorial Park, Mill Street and West Point Highway, Highland Falls, NY

For the West Point Graduates, the families that support them, and every American our Military protects in peace and war times, THANK YOU for choosing this career! It takes a SPECIAL BREED to devote your life to the Military. YOU ARE THAT SPECIAL BREED. Thank you!
There will always be opposition from those who FORGET to appreciate their freedom. Remember to ignore them, and remind yourselves frequently, that YOU SERVE so they can continue to be oppositional and often times obnoxious. Regardless though, it is YOU that wears the uniform. Your our frontline defense against tyranny. God Bless you all!
congratulations graduates! may you live the cadets honor for the rest of your life!
Retired military who have access to West Point can greet the new officers one day early on family day. As a GOE member I did this during the 2007 graduation. I were well received by the new officers familys and staff members of West Point.
The smiles & handshakes you receive from them are well worth the effort. Thank them for there four years of hard work and for the service they about to perform for America.
America is blessed with these warriors and may God hold his loving hand over each of them as they move to lead our soldiers from the front.
My thanks to all who stand at the gates of West Point to counter Cose Pink and there evil deeds.
God bless my mighty Union Army.
