First-person account of the GOE planning session and rally by Del Vecchio, who worked with Larry Bailey to help plan the event.

Since a link is required and this came by email, I've included a link to Del's excellent educational booklet, Whitewash / Blackwash: Myths of the Vietnam War.

My count was us = 10,000...them=5,000

Some French journalists were there and told me we had twice the numbers

So did a German Camera crew

NOT ONE AMERICAN CAMERAMAN from ANY of the networks covered us at the rally point.

Very cool. I was pleased to see there's a whole stack of GOE videos up on UTube.

bump. The Drive-by Media is once again shown to be traitorous scum. Thanks to everyone who was able to be at the GoE!

I was there. I was standing with the vets at one of the bottlenecks intended to keep the commies away from the Wall.

It was a sight to see when one of the commies tried to get through the bottleneck with his sign. The vets trashed his sign and blocked his way.

Words can't describe how it felt to be standing there with them.

It is wonderful to see our military so honored and that it remain so. It's time and should have been done a long time to make sure these brave men and women get only the very best.

I thought the vets guarding the entrances to the rally took the right approach. Anyone could enter the GOE area unless they were carrying an opposition sign. The leftists made several concerted efforts that I saw to break through. Most were simply blocked, there were a couple of occasions where signs were ripped up and handed back to their owners.
