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.

***Every FReeper who supports this rally in spirit (who couldn’t be there) should make ONE post to this thread, and it will be a sort of informal tally of FReepers who would have gone if they could (like me).***
Checking in. Praying for the safety of all.
please update us with new photos when available - thanks to you and your daughter!
That’s what I want to know if anyone else has heard.
Go to CNN's website and click on their LIVE feed of the rally, at the right side of screen. You can watch the rally live.
One of the rally speakers said a few minutes ago that they are hearing 1.5 million (from the Park Service? MPDC?) is the count so far.
Speaker at rally just said 1.5 mil. It's still growing!
For screwing the American people.
I know it’s only sex, but it matters to us.
LOL...not enough people appreciate sarcasm as a legitimate form of humor.

The Constitution IS a permit for peaceful assembly
My elderly (80's) folks are waiting in front of the TV for Glenn to come on ..... silent majority types for sure, but they are fired up today! Talked to my mom last night and she was telling me (usually the other way around) all the lies BO has been spouting lately. If my parents are any indication, 'regular' America is finally paying attention - maybe with this march today of a million plus, Congress will feel a little tingle of fear and say 'no' to O.
Yep, and the NYTimes put up a story six minutes ago referring to ‘tens of thousands’ having gathered there. (That’s okay, their Boston Globe subsidiary boston.com site doesn’t deem to mention it at all.
I will try to find out. I have a converter to convert VHS to DVD but there would be copyright issues to consider as far as posting the video. I would think Fox or Beck will make it available to people as a video online and I just bet if they sold it, it would sell like hotcakes.
Hi, y’all...Right Winger from the Left Coast, checking in.
My prayers are with those who, like a generation before, are marching on Washington to make their voices heard. How I wish I could be with you, but thanks to my being numbered amoung the 9/16% unemployment for most of the year, I could not get anywhere near you.
So I am here in Los Angeles, cheering on those who can - and are.
To quote a famous movie: “What we do now...echoes into eternity. Strength and honor!”
(That’s “Gladiator”, for those in Rio Linda and Port St. Lucie)
Where are you hearing the speaker??
If it hasn’t been posted yet:

Everyone ping all your ping lists and get everyone to post to the thread once to show support.
GO AMERICAN PATRIOTS !!!
I wish I was there!
