ANSWER's bus pickup and drop off points. Notice the cemetery is in close proxmity, and that ANSWER will march protesters near it to get to the rally at the Pentagon. Again, another memorial to soldiers is at risk. 540 posted on 02/22/2007 9:56:29 PM PST by Thunder90
The National Park Service has advised us that no signs, banners, flags…..will be allowed at the Wall.
