I'm so sorry that I didn't see you -- and so many other FReepers. But I'm *thrilled* that it was so crowded! You just know that at least some of the troops will be seeing this on TV or reading about it in the papers, and I like to believe that it will matter to them. :D

Actually, you may not have heard him since you were down at the other end of the block, but there was a Vietnam Vet there who spoke for a few minutes and he said that rallies supporting the troops like this mean SO MUCH to the troops while they are in battle. They do get wind of it, and he said it keeps them going!

No, we didn't hear that! But we are heartened to know that the troops *will* hear about this and know that we love 'em!
