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:

THIS IS BIG, This is wonderful. This is a silken glove SLAP in their red faces. Valerie Garrett and her Presidential Manequin are probably stunned and furious. She thought they were well past this possibility. What’s that you say, Valerie? “ I said, I’M MELITING!! Oh, what a world!”.

Go ahead and say it. Yes, it does remind me of the IWO JIMA pose. How appropriate!

ConorMacNessa - Thanks for posting your pics. It was great meeting you today and putting a personal face to your screen name.

Hey, everyone should check out the video that Whenifhow posted. Thanks Whenfhow. News reporters are saying that there were only several hundred at the WWII Memorial. Hell, there were at least several thouusand with what looks like most of them bringing Obambi’s barackcades back to the Spite House.

Thank you...Both videos are powerful and it’s great to see this taking place under the residents nose.

Unfortunately, if the nightly news doesn’t cover it, in depth, it never happened. I am constantly telling people what this regime is on video record as having done, but tgey just say, “Why haven’t I heard of that before?” They refuse to believe that the main stream media is covering for this demonic administration.
