Becoming a part of the Gathering Of Eagles is a simple procedure. Primarily, it involves the act of making the decision to do so. From there it's just a matter of notifying a GOE representative that you have become one of us.

If you are not sure about it yet, answer this set of questions for yourself.

Do you love America?

Do you believe that our war memorials are sacred ground; and as such, will not allow them to be desecrated, used as props for political statements, or treated with anything less than the solemn and heartfelt respect they–and the heroes they honor–deserve?

Are you wholly and forever committed to our brothers and sisters in uniform. Do you understand their incredible and noble sacrifices, made of their own accord for a nation they love more than life itself. Do you stand by them, and as an American, thank God for them?

Do you believe in and would give your life for the precious freedoms found in our Constitution. Do you believe that our freedom of speech is one of the greatest things our country espouses, and absolutely hold that any American citizen has the right to express his or her approval or disapproval with any policy, law, or action of our nation and her government in a peaceful manner as afforded by the laws of our land?

Are you adamantly opposed to the use of violence, vandalism, physical or verbal assaults on our veterans, and the destruction or desecration of our memorials. Do you believe that by defending and honoring these sacred places, you defend and honor those whose blood gave all of us the right to speak as freely as our minds think?

Do you vehemently oppose the notion that it is possible to "support the troops but not the war." ? Do you oppose those groups who would claim support for the troops yet engage in behavior that is demeaning and abusive to the men and women who wear our nation’s uniform?

Do you believe in freedom at all costs, including your own life? Do you agree with Thomas Jefferson's assertion that "From time to time, the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of patriots and tyrants" ?

Will you accept nothing less than total, unqualified victory in the current conflict, believing that surrender is not an option, nor is defeat?

Will you stand to challenge any group that seeks the destruction of our nation, its founding precepts of liberty and freedom, or those who have given of themselves to secure those things for another generation.?

Are you determined to be silent no more?
