From the Associated Press style book:

The Sun rose in the East as anti-war protesters gather nearby to mark the fourth anniversary of the war in Iraq.

Washington's cherry blossoms were anxiously awaiting warmer weather as anti-war protesters gather nearby to mark the fourth anniversary of the war in Iraq.

Never mind the thousands of Americans supporting the War on Terror, the Real Story™ is about how anti-war protesters gather nearby to mark the fourth anniversary of the war in Iraq.

Thanks for the pics, michigander! It was impossible to get this kind of "overhead" perspective from the ground.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU Veterans and TRUE Americans!

Yesterday was one Giant step towards showing what we're really all about.

For the FReepers at Arlington Cemetery, check out pics One & Two. We look like Custer's Last Stand with the Indians coming over the bridge.

BUT, we won this time!!

I'm wondering how they got this pic. Must have actually been in Arlington Cemetery with a telephoto lens. Pic is distorted. They are still a hundred yards or so from us.

Michigander -

Thanks for the pics. That's our group at the U.S./Marine flags and one of FR's MOABs (Mother Of All Banners for those who don't read the Walter Reed AARs).

Kristinn -

"Operation Spoil Media Bias" worked at this end of the bridge. Good Thinking!!
