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.

I want that crowd-in-Washington, D.C.-photo on a HUGE poster, in a frame, with a catchy Patriotic caption.

This is just awesome!

"Imagine how small the crowd would be if all the people who scrambled and sacrificed to be there found reasons they could not attend."

I am waiting for an unemployment extension. I was supposed to get a check a week ago, but I have to wait until NEXT week for a phone hearing on my extension. Who knows when I am getting paid. Hubby is laid off too, but cannot collect unemployment. So I have a whopping 78 cents in the check book. I have to go write a bad check just for food, and pray I get some money before the electric gets shut off. And you want to pick on me because I did not go to DC!!! How wrong to post that.

The crowd at the plaza starting point is undiminished. No end yet in sight.

” I wonder if FNC has been intimidated by all the criticism they recieved “

naaahhh.. They’re contractually obligated to feed Cavuto’s ego for two hours every Saturday... (And after getting bumped for Teddy’s funeral, boy, is he pi$$ed...)

Let it go, people. Stay focused on the goodness of this.

A half-mil, easy; likely many more.

And the march doesn't even start (LOL) for another 45 minutes.

Just saw on FOX a shot of Barrrracckkkkkkackackack and Alice the Goon arriving in MN.

Ya can run but ya cannot hide.

There have been articles and investigations into why the newsies are silent on certain subjects and it tracks back to threats from the WH.

Oh good! The coverage will pick up as we get closer to the official start time.

[Family Guy]

You Guys Rock!!!!

I’m so fired up! I wish SO much I could have been there.

Thanks for doing my heavy lifting while I’m home with the kids.

[NewCenturions]

I couldn’t make it either (sigh!) Hey, “we also serve, who only stand (sit) and freep!”

COL Riley is a good man - he was my CO in Augsburg, Germany.

[ProfoundMan]

Wow! At the end of the blue line Metro station. Probably 1000 people just waiting just to get on the train.

Planning to leave soon from Charlottesville, will miss the march but will hopefully still see lots of Patriots, camera in hand!

"Flag is at half-mast for Teddy the murderer."

Good lord. I thought it was for the anniversary of 9/11.

[KansasGirl]

[Did they put it up when Ted Kennedy died? The president orderd all flags to half staff for 30 days for Ted.]

HA! HA! I’ll have to let them know.
