Ya gotta love this from the New York Times:

"As they gathered before the march, the protesters met what several veterans of the antiwar movement described as an unusually large contingent of several hundred counterdemonstrators. Many were veterans in biker jackets who said they had come to protect the nearby Vietnam Memorial, citing rumors that had circulated among veterans groups that the demonstrators planned to deface it...."

and

"Crossing the bridge toward the Pentagon, the marchers met another group of about 50 counterdemonstrators by the Arlington Cemetery, one holding a sign that said: “Go to hell traitors. You dishonor our dead on hallowed ground.”"

(I guess these particular veterans of the anti-war movement can't count.)

LOL! More like 'several' tens of thousands of us.

The 'rumors' of defacement attempts against the Wall were more than rumors. I remember following posted links to moonbat sites that spoke of it.

From the comPost

"As war protesters marched toward Arlington Memorial Bridge en route to the Pentagon yesterday, they were flanked by long lines of military veterans and others who stood in solidarity with U.S. troops and the Bush administration's cause in Iraq. Many booed loudly as the protesters passed, turned their backs to them or yelled, "If you don't like America, get out!""

"Crossing the bridge toward the Pentagon, the marchers met another group of about 50 counterdemonstrators by the Arlington Cemetery, one holding a sign that said: “Go to hell traitors. You dishonor our dead on hallowed ground.”"

If you look at the original map of our designated permit areas, there is one across the bridge, on the other side of the river from the Lincoln Memorial. The sentence in question seems to refer to this area on the Arlington Cemetery side of the river.

To me, this means we collectively occupied all the designated ground. These guys crossed the river to provide harassment to the Moonbats.

...one holding a sign that said: "Go to hell traitors. You dishonor our dead on hallowed ground."

Funny, the sign was 2 queen size bedsheets in size. It took 6 of us to hold it up in the 20-30 mph wind.
