MARCH TO WASHINGTON
Three retired Army officers, recently returned from Iraq and others are marching
from the SC/NC Stateline to end at the U.S. Capitol (1 Mar to 16 Mar 2008).
Dennis McCool, Carl Heerup and Marc Breslow will be walking 400 miles in an event
called "Resolve To Win".
The reason is to show support for the Troops and the Mission of the Troops.
The purpose is to demonstrate resolve to do a difficult task and to create a
dialogue about our National Will to win.
Saturday, February 23, 2008: The North Carolina Gathering of Eagles announced our intention to support
McCool, Heerup and Breslow.
For those of us that are tired of complaining about the leftist war protesters,
their attacks on recruiters, their picketing of Walter Reed, their marches on the
nation's capitol and lies against our military - this provides one of those rare
opportunities to express support for our country and military in a war that we
believe is necessary, noble, legal and justified.
We will not let this opportunity pass us by. These are important days in the history
of our nation. Make sure that years from now, you will be able to say you did
everything you could to preserve, for future generations, the America you grew up in.
Personal note from Dennis McCool
As a soldier, recently returned from Iraq, it has been disheartening to "HEAR" everyone talk
about how they SUPPORT the Troops, but see so little evidence of it.
Can you remember the first 5 or 6 months after September 11th? Patriotism, a feeling of
National Unity and Resolve to defeat our Nations enemies was everywhere. It was like
electricity in the air and it manifests itself by an unparalleled display by citizens
across America. The American flag could be seen on cars, homes and businesses everywhere.
Yellow ribbons were everywhere. "United We Stand" banner were commonplace.
That is what I wanted to see when I came home from Iraq. That would have made me feel
that America remembered: we are at war and young Americans are dying every day in the
Middle East to defend our way of life. I do not believe that Our Troops want Americans
to be suffering because of the War, but we do want America to REMEMBER that we are at War.
