D.C. Again Eagles….March 15, 2008……Be There
Friends,
Eagles Up has another State Coordinator to welcome………..thanks to Glen Boyd for stepping forward to assume the California position. You can contact Glen at california@eaglesup.us
Please click on http://eaglesup.us/index.php?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=213 and review the opportunity in your State to serve America, our troops and honor our fallen.
The region coordinator for your State if you live in the Northeast Region can be contacted northeast@eaglesup.us If you live in another region, simply replace “northeast” with your region name @eaglesup.us Any of the State Coordinators can be reached by simply using the name of the State (example florida@eaglesup.us ) If there’s a State Coordinator listed for your State, send him/her an email and become part of the team.
Now is the time to standup folks…….we are moving toward a gigantic Eagle presence in Washington, D.C. on March 15, 2008 to defend our nation and our warriors……..Eagles Up doesn’t need you support, GOE doesn’t need your support, Vets for Freedom doesn’t need your support, no organization or movement needs your support………….AMERICA NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT AGAIN…advertisements, speeches, letters, are of minor influence… “BOOTS ON THE GROUND” makes the greatest impact……..the enemy is merciless, barbaric, unforgiving and some in America can’t or won’t recognize the threat America faces.
Our plea is not without understanding the sacrifice, difficulty, distance, financial impact, etc., traveling to Washington, D.C. entails……we know it’s tough, demanding, and painful for many whether elderly or not so mature, as many of us have done it a few times……..it’s also tough to be facing the Islamic butchers in Afghanistan and Iraq for our warriors…..we must protect their back here at home…we simply cannot allow our troops to be abandoned…the United States Congress is doing enough damage…we must counteract the behavior of our gutless politicians with our own show of force and support for those protecting our freedom.
Will we stand by and allow our current generation of warriors be treated like our veterans of the Viet Nam era were betrayed? Not no, but hell no……..no one stood up for us and it won’t happen again.
Merle Haggard says it best when he sings “Fightin’ Side of Me” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0n552gP9X40
You’re walkin’ on the fightin’ side of me.
Runnin’ down a way of life,
Our fightin’ men have fought and died to keep.
If you don’t love it, leave it:
Let this song that I’m singin’ be a warnin’.
When you’re runnin’ down my country, hoss,
You’re walkin’ on the fightin’ side of me.
I personally urge you to consider…no not consider, but take a role as a State Coordinator, an Eagles Up supporter, someone that will forward emails to friends, to help in any way you can to raise the awareness to other Americans to join us in our fight for our nation. “None of us can do everything, but all of us can do something”
Contact someone at Eagles Up and take a look at our website www.eaglesup.us frequently.
Very respectfully and best wishes for a Happy New Year/2008.

Introduction of New California State Coordinator
Friday, 28 December 2007
Eagles UP! is pleased to announce Glen Boyd as our new State Coordinator for California. Over the past couple of years, Glen has become incensed by the increase of anti-American sentiment, especially in Northern California. In response, he has joined The American Legion, donated goods to Operation Care and Comfort, has attended three PGR missions, and now will shoulder the challenge of introducing the Eagles Up mission statement to the state of California.
Glen has been married for 25 years and has recently retired from the Semiconductor Industry as VP Worldwide Marketing and Sales of Intersil Corp. where he was responsible for $800 million annual sales, 300 people, and a $75 million expense budget.
He graduated from Kansas State University in 1969 with a BSEE degree prior to starting his military service, where he served as a 1st Lt. in the 1st Signal Brigade in RVN. Among his service related awards, Glen received the Vietnam Service Medal, ARCOMM, and the Bronze Star.
Glen’s father was a humble WWII veteran who was laid to rest last fall in the Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery near St. Louis. The flag from his coffin is proudly displayed in Glen’s living room. In regarding Veterans, his thinking is driven by the phrase, “all gave some, some gave all”, and demands they must be treated with the respect they deserve.
Please join in welcoming Glen Boyd as our new Eagles Up California State Coordinator.
