Please post your updates from D.C. and from news reports here as well as your photos of the day.

Our Walter Reed salute to the troops last night was very well attended. Upwards of 800 people were there over the three-plus hours of the demonstration.

Photos and video taken by This Ain'tHell taken in daylight before the bulk of the crowd showed can be viewed here.

Thank you for being there and for the report and if you can, please ping me to your video or pics. If not able to do the pingie thingie that’s ok, I’ll find your stuff.

You're welcome - it was awesome!!

I won't be uploading the video any time soon - it's in MOV format and even the short clips are huge. I'm uploading it to an FTP site that we set up for the local media. I'm looking for a cheap/free software solution to converting MOV to MPG or MP3 format right now so that one of my recipients can use the files (and so that I can do some UTube stuff in the future.

I'm probably not going to do too much on the images - I might sift through and make some smaller sized pics for web use while I'm riding the bus back home tomorrow. I only get about 2-3 hours on a charge on the laptop though. I do want to get some images out there just to try to show the significance of the event.

That’s how it was labeled .. I’ve since found
another that’s the same on a blog, and someone
there said it wasn’t correct.

That’s the internet for ya .. even Michelle
Malkin is linking to this shot.

I’ve only seen that happen once..)..”

I’m still cracking up about that I’ll have you know.

Revolutionary girl is lovely.

When I saw her, I thought "aha, we have our Belly-Girl! Too bad the guys won't like that her belly is covered, but she's got the attitude."

I think Jefferson said, “A people unwilling to use extreme violent force to obtain or preserve their liberty deserves the tyrants that rule.”

Better tell ol' Thomas not to post that here. It'll get deleted (unfortunately).

WHY?

They stopped doing crowd estimates years ago. Too much hassle. One side said they were too low, the other too high.

The place looks vacant. What gives?

They are all on the mall. Probably not many traffic cams there. ;-)

Early on there was reports of SEIU and other 0bama water carrying thugs planning of being bussed there and causing trouble - any signs of these communist pinko bedwetting slime balls today

[Brad’s Gramma]

Probably thousands of the same people.

Couple HUNDRED per my head count. And yeppers! The SAME PEOPLE! They hopped from one place to the next just to be counted over and over and over again!

Cool, huh?

This one will be spoken of by future generations of Americans. It is for the books...
