"The most poignant moment came when the noise of the crowd of 300-500,00 were silenced by the playing of Taps honoring our fallen."

That was an INCREDIBLE moment. Hundreds of thousands of people went stone-quiet in a matter of seconds after the start of Taps. I have NEVER seen anything like it. I was stunned. The bugler was very good, and I bet he was proud when everyone went so quiet so fast.

As far as the hollywood Clowns Parade, all I could hear from everyone around us was "who's that?" and "who cares?".

We were at the 4th turn and saw a lot of fire and destruction all day. Watching Buddy Rice scrambling out of his burning car in front of us in turn four was pretty exciting.

I do wonder if Hollywood crowd noticed the difference in the fans reaction between them and our Military.

The 500 does such a great job of honoring our Military.
