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:

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)

I thought those guys illustrated the patriotism and camaraderie that we all felt there. Lots of stories to tell, and I met some great American Patriots. I'd love to do it again.

Some members of my family did not know I was going - they would have come with me had they known. Next time, they'll know!
