New York City Needs Us
March 6, 2008
As you all know, I was lucky enough to be invited to the christening of the USS New York this past weekend. It is doubly disturbing then to have the recruiting station in Times Square, the heart of Manhattan, bombed by an act of domestic terrorism. We at GOE are therefore, calling all Eagles and supporters in the Northeast to join us as we stand in support of the troops stationed there. We will gather at 1230hrs until 1600hrs, this Saturday, 8 March in Times Square to serve notice that our troops do not cut and run, and neither do we. We recognize that most of you do not live within easy driving distance of NYC, so we are asking that everyone else don your military or patriotic garb and visit your local recruiter station. It is important for them to know we love and respect them, and will stand with them always. New York City has, once again, been the victim of terrorism; this time of the homegrown brand it appears. This despicable act can be laid right at the feet of the vehement anti-American groups we have countered so often. They have made it okay in the minds of some to attack recruiter stations and deface our war memorials. We must not allow this to continue! I have contacted law enforcement agencies in several of the cities where recruiter stations have been previously targeted. They assure me that security has been stepped up. Respectfully, that is not enough. We must show support publicly and proudly for our brothers and sisters in uniform. This is our line in the sand. This nonsense will stop. I look forward to standing with you all again and appreciate your unqualified support. I love New York. Manchu.

I might be able to make this. Looks like we’re gonna put our “any weather” slogan to good use tomorrow. Yay!

I wish to God I could be there…..I will be with you all in spirit.
I’ll see you there!
I will be there.
I support the US voluntary military and all service members past, present and future.
My friend John W. Perry will be there in spirit.
(google search his name: he was a voluntary member of the NY National Guard and the NYPD, killed rescuing people at the WTC on 911)
Can’t be there in person. I’m out here on the left coast, but prayer and worship cover for the event will be provided from a group of us praying together online. GO EAGLES! God bless America! God bless our troops! And God bless those who support them!

Even with the most miserable weather i’ve seen in a dog’s age, we had a damn good turnout today in times square. Rediculous rain today. Anyway, lot’s of familiar faces to say hello to, tons of press; even UNTV was there, United Nations TV, who knew? There was know end to people looking at us, thinking, what’s this? Walls of flags. Very cool.
Great job, DanNY… that tent was a life saver for alot of folks. I didn’t use it much because I’m a rugged bastard
I’m sure lots of pics and video will soon hit the forum.
I’ll have video and pics to link to shortly. This was an absolute blast. I put in my AAR, so perhaps it’ll be up shortly. It POURED rain!
NYPD ROCKS! God Bless the recruiters! The tourists faces were priceless- so many people loved it and no moonbats. I was talking to one person and some guy came up and said, “Well what about how the other person felt?” I asked what other person. HE indicated the person who did the bomb. I explained I had no time to empathize with people who blow up Times Square.
GREAT to be with all of you!!!
Good on GOE for planting the flag in Times Square and taking it back for America.
