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.
Free Republic 9/11 Candlelight Vigil from Washington DC

I’m hearing from serveral sources 1.2 million. I think Pelosi was floating the 2 million number so she could say it was a failure, she’ll be eating her hat.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! SILENT NO MORE!!!!
“Mike Pence unexpected crowd”
Based on the crowd noise in the background, which made hearing Dawn difficult for me, the participants did not view 1.5 million as a failure to meet expectations. I would urge journalists who wish to retain their reputations not rely on the Democrats 2 million estimate as a false goalpost of success.
UPDATE: Doing a bit of math, since 2 million is double for those who attended Obamas inauguration about 9 months ago, that means 500,000 more Americans are protesting his administration than who came to celebrate its start. No wonder he flew to Minnesota today no reason to be distracted by the little people.

This is great! It sure looks like 100’s of thousands! Give ‘em hell!
That depends mostly on what the attendees do after they return home.
