Thanks for the FANTASTIC work in organizing this awesome display of patriotism in the heart of NYC! :D

"By the time we left, there were at *least* close to 3000 flag-waving, "USA! USA! USA!"

Excellent! Great photos, thanks to all that attended.

Thank you for attending and for the pix! I was beginning to think NYC was entirely comprised of violent peaceniks. ;-//

New York sure looks better today than it did yesterday :)

CBS radio in NYC just covered it with live quotes from people at the rally!

I came about 30 mins late - and my heart was lifted when I could hear the roars and chants of the crowd from two blocks away when I came out of the subway.

The rally unquestionably broke 1000 people, probably about 1000 were within the rails with a couple hundred around the sides of them, many people who had been walking by but stopped to cheer for a little bit. The turnover of the side people was more frequent, so I think an estimate of 2000 for the day is not overshooting.

I was about halfway back, near someone's car (whose car was that)? I couldn't hear much since all the speaker had was a bullhorn, but every time a cheer or song started up we did our best. As a musician I can sing well and so I did!

Only one problem - couldn't see any FreeRepublic.com signs so I didn't try to meet anyone from the board. At the end I noticed a sign with the URL way, way in the front, but I had to run to work.

Hats off to firebrand, cacique etc. for organizing a rally that turned them out. I hope you all are somewhere right now celebrating the event.

What a day! We sure are glad you took these photos. Thanks so much and keep up the good work.

Keep it going. Let me know when and where the next is. Hope there is a next.

Good photos! I don't know whether this is the "official" thread list or what, but it's gotta start somewhere.

I did get pics of most of the speakers(though, I'm waiting on the pics to be burned to cd as the memory stick was not mine). Fantastic support for Bush, our troops, Blair and Operation Enduring Freedom. I was able to bring a coalition of the willing to support Freedom.

How many of you noticed infiltrators? I've got one on photo with a camera(non-digital type) who was quietly launching poisonous darts to anyone who would listen.

The police were happy to see us. They were friendly, helpful, peaceful(not feeling unease in our presence) and were given sound chants at the end of the rally!
