Veterans from every branch of the military have a message for our government. The message will be delivered in person at 9 a.m. on Sunday, Oct. 13, in Washington, D.C. and at war memorials all across the nation.

The Million Vet March on the Memorials is a grassroots movement started by five military brats, a term used to describe children of military members, to honor the nation's veterans.

Hey! That’s the guy that carried one of the barricades to drop off at Obama's front door!

Thank you so much for posting all these fabulous pictures. Thanks for being there.

Owen Kellogg deserves a REAL Pulitzer prize for journalism photography.

He's earned one in my book. Thank you, Owen -- especially because I was pretty leery of the truckers, seeing as how US News & World Report, an MSM vehicle was legitimizing them; it made me suspicious. Today has been a very weepy day for me, but tears of joy and gratitude, my heart is so full of ... something, I'm not sure what. A kind of aching pride, but not really pride. Maybe contentedness seeing the visual evidence of my compatriots. I want to be there with them.

What I really want is to see laughing, happy, peaceful faces as those park police folks are gently, firmly handcuffed to their vehicles or park benches or trees, and watched and guarded so no harm comes to them. Especially the goons who prevented people from seeing Old Faithful geysers at Yellowstone. SHAME ON THOSE POLICE people, shame! They should stand with us and they CAN stand with us. The parks are ours, not theirs. The individuals -- each park policeman or woman is an individual -- who each know they are enforcing "law" that is politically vain, deliberately spiteful, and wrong, should be light-heartedly handcuffed to benches.

The parks are OURS, not theirs -- at gunpoint, no less, they "enforce" what is wrong. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

One cop said He’s glad we’re out here and not the “Occupy” bunch.

Oh, man, Hallelujah!

Amen!!!!!!

[Finny]

Oh, wow, that video should go VIRAL. That is what needed to happen in Yellowstone. I guess those guys actually prevented tourists from enjoying Old Faithful gushing off. Absolutely shameful! I love how those people just shout those snotty scared little cops out of Dodge, all the while advising to keep calm, cool head, peaceful protest, no one going to get hurt.

Just WOW. "Go home! Shame on you!" The faces of those kids in the riot gear, some of them looked ready to kill, others looked scared and a little confused.

Holy cow, what a video!

Thank you, but just doing my job.

It was a great day for the Republic.

[Finny]

Yeah, I had a peek of that site, too -- the comments! Talk about seething hate and anger! Yow! And it occurred to me those dolts writing those comments have zero, zip, nada, clue as to what is really going on -- including the fact that there weren't "hundreds," there were obviously thousands of regular Joe Americans there on the ground. The morons at the Daily Beast think there were only a few hundred "crazies" -- and those same morons still don't know they're part of a piddling shouted-down parasitic minority!

Serves 'em right. They're in for a rude surprise.

[Finny]

Can you make an estimate of how many people were there? Thousands of course, but ... tens of thousands? I’m curious. I hope you are professional and make some $$ with your photography.

Thanks for the great pics!!
