I remember being there at The Gathering of Eagles in 2007, and the bridge was covered with trash, dirty baby diapers, discarded posters, etc. after the moonbats marched over it. It was remarkable.
I was there too! 3/07, GOE I. That was my 1st trip to DC. I will always remember the feeling of being surrounded by fellow patriots. I also went to GOEIII. That initial gathering cemented my involvement.
