MILLION MAN MARCH
After Action Report
13 October 2013



As I walked down 17th Street to the WWII Memorial I was passed by at least a dozen D.C Police cruisers and Paddy wagons. Two Secret Service cruisers were blocking vehicular access to 17th below Constitution Avenue.

I was late arriving and missed Sarah Palin, Mike Lee and Ted Cruz.

Arriving at the Memorial, I made my way to the high U.S. Flag and Gadsden Flag
held by FReeper Mr. Trooprally.

Those who arrived before me made short work of the Barackades:



This young lady was stting just west of the WWII Memorial:



On my way to the Vietnam Vets Memorial:

At the Wall, I was able to find the names of several of my Fallen Brothers:



The Wall - W-25 - HM/3 Jerome L. Menter And Others Fallen 11May1969



The Wall - W-22 - Jack Murdock, Eddie Locklear And Others Fallen 21-22 June 1969

A lady at the WWII Memorial was giving out these cards to any Vets she encountered:

"Riamh nár dhruid ó sbairn lann!"

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

is Barry in the bunker? Now he gets to know a little of what it felt like in Benghazi ... but I see here he called in the troops before one shot was fired ... sleep well you POS

“At about noon I was sitting on a park bench on Constitution Ave. when a quartet of Mounted Park Rangers rose by. They gave us thumbs-up and thanks - we did the same. “

Wonderful. Palin also reached out to the Park Police. Maybe the best response is, “Thank you for your service, but it is not needed.” We do not want to alienate the Patriots who for feeding their families are on the payroll of the Leviathan. Take the high ground as Palin did.

I am the wife of ConorMacNessa who over the past several years has overcome many obstacles. I was at mass today while he down on the mall finally realizing what it means to have married my bestfriend.

When Pope Benedict came to town he was part of the choir at the Papal Mass. During the rehearsals and the actual event he was undergoing treatment for cancer. When he came home that night from the Mass he was pumped. Neither of us got much sleep that night as we stayed up watching the news coverage.

His going today was a feat as he uses a walker to get around. While it was my idea to attend the protest I stayed behind to get our son to work.

Sorry I didn’t think to try to locate other Freepers. I walked right up to you. I was wearing the blue blazer and American flag pattern bow tie.

ConorMacNessa was spry and ready to cause mischief on the barrycades.

Thanks for getting him pumped up for this!

From watching the video I really get the impression they are a group in training. They didn’t seem to have a clue about anything. Hell. they had a tough time just crossing the street~! LOL!

I walked well over a mile this morning - my legs are really tightening up. :)

It was well worth it to be able to rub elbows with some real Americans!

Thank you, Mrs. ConorMacNessa, you both should be very proud.

I loved the Pictures!

Relax those legs...maybe a hot bath and massaging will help.

BTW, the Biker Church lifted you folks up in Prayer this morning.

There were a lot of fellow Vets that appreciated Conor’s presence. And to have Conor walk the length of the Mall and get home in time to post a thread is a testament to his patriotism and the love between you two. I am proud to finally met him.

Kathy-thanks for the heads up.

I remember talking to an “Overpass” person who had a blue jacket on. Was that you?

Otherwise, I do not remember all those around our FReeper group.

For Tea Party events I have the U.S.-Gadson flags. For moonbat events I have the U.S.-USMC flags. You are on the DC Chapter ping list so keep an eye out for a ping when we plan to be there.
