My E-Blast Report From...

'The Million Vet March on the Memorials',
which started at The WWII Memorial...

After a couple of hours, when all of the speakers

were done, most everyone walked from there to

breach the BarryCades at the Lincoln Memorial.

Prior to walking to the Lincoln Memorial, I had the

opportunity to meet, and shake the hand of, Sarah

Palin. Todd got jealous...

Just kidding, of course, about Todd getting jealous :-)

Which notable Veteran was missing from
the "Million Veteran March" on Sunday?

CNN Mocks Million Vet

March as "Tea Party Crazies"

CNN.com covered Sunday’s “Million Vet March”

in Washington D.C. against the Obama

administration’s closure of military memorials by

castigating the marchers as Tea Party kooks

and fringe crazies. “At tea party-like rally,

Obama told to ‘put the Quran down,’”

the headline read.

Well, I must admit, The Tea Party was well

represented in their support of the veterans, many
of whom, of course, ARE Tea Party members

themselves.

The Bikers and The Truckers were also there, along
with many Vet supporters of all political persuasions,

except for radical Leftists who despise their own

country and it's military.

And...Obama SHOULD put his quaran down :-)

The walk over to the Lincoln Memorial...

The crowd did not stay together, they fanned out to

all sections of the Mall, some going to the Iwo Jima
Mem, others to the Viet Nam Mem, and so on.

The bottom line is the ENTIRE Mall was opened
and being used whether the govt liked it or not.

I'm not good at estimating crowd size, and it was
smaller than I had hoped, but I'm guessing there were

a minimum of 5,000 spread across the entire Mall.

This is what was going on as I arrived at the

Lincoln Memorial...

"Demonstrators removed the barricades Sunday at
the rally, tossing them into a pile nearby. After the
speeches, the crowd wandered down to the nearby
Lincoln Memorial and removed its barriers as well.
When some officers tried to put them back up,
protesters took them from the officers’ hands and
carried them away from the memorial."

Where CNN sees "fringe crazies", I see

upstanding, decent, Americans...

Of course, it depends on which picture one

chooses to highlight... :-)

As one approached the Lincoln Mem, the police

presence was to the left. They simply watched

for the most part, and seemed to go out of their

way to be non-threatening, just there in the event of

trouble.

They were obviously ordered to allow the civil

disobedience. I imagine that the powers that be

weighed the political optics of attacking veterans,

against their natural Leftist desire to stomp on any
dissent, and the PR blowback from any potentially
damaging optics won out.

After all, they already have a black eye from

closing the WWII memorial, which was the genesis

for this rally in the first place.

I think they just decided to cut their losses.

Not to mention, easily half of the rally participants

were combat veterans from every war since
WWII to the present. A bit different than evicting

80 yr olds from their house, or bullying busloads of

senior citizen tourists. These guys could give as

good as they got, if push came to shove, and were

prepared to do just that if they were blocked

from the memorials.

Those are the real optics the Left couldn't have

the country see...that their power could be

stood up to.

So I give this round to the veterans based on the

fact that the Statist's backed down from any

real confrontation.

So the rally continued on, unimpeded, at the

Lincoln Memorial...

Then the fellow in the Revolutionary War garb, who

is an iconic figure at every rally that I've ever been to

in D.C., called for everyone to take the protest to the
White House.

A cheer rose up and off they went...

Veterans Descend on Washington –
Carry BARRY-cades from Memorials
to White House

View image on Twitter

Veterans descended upon Washington DC Sunday

morning to visit the open air WWII memorial and the

Iwo Jima memorial. Thousands of individuals were

on hand to support these veterans to visit the

memorial in spite of Park Rangers attempting to

thwart visitors the day prior. Ordinary citizens picked

up barricades around the WWII memorial and piled

them in stacks on the grassy areas of the park.

Comment by Edie Boudreau on October 21, 2013 at 1:34pm: I just saw your blog about the Vets March to DC, Bruce...it is GREAT! You know a lot about adding pictures, and links to videos and other websites. It has been so long since I've set up my website that I will have to study how to do that all over again when I move to another server. In 8 years my brain has atrophied some, plus I used to keep going to college classes to keep up with new technology until I moved from CA 12 years ago.

Hope you enjoyed the trip!

Comment by PHILIP SCHNEIDER on October 14, 2013 at 11:33am: A study of the Bruce O'Hara photos gives one a perception of what REAL Americans are all about.
