My family and I sat underneath the trees and were shoulder to shoulder with other familys, where there was shade...the crowd was packed THICK under it! Can only see how much from the ground level photos.

Not only under the trees, but people were arriving throughout the event. While walking around the west side of the Lincoln Memorial around just before 1100 there was a steady stream crossing the bridge from Arlington Cemetery. No doubt the same was happening from other directions, due in part to the Metro backups that others have reported. It was a dynamic situation.
