Please post your updates from D.C. and from news reports here as well as your photos of the day.
Our Walter Reed salute to the troops last night was very well attended. Upwards of 800 people were there over the three-plus hours of the demonstration.
Photos and video taken by This Ain'tHell taken in daylight before the bulk of the crowd showed can be viewed here.
Free Republic 9/11 Candlelight Vigil from Washington DC
Griff is up! He is such a cutie, I love his adorable howdy doody look. He’s so enthuiastic.
Yes, but that’s insane.
Glenn Beck just said he was told the crowd is 60,000.
Thank you! You solved my problem!
Griff says its one mile from the Capital to the monument and showing the sea of patriots. Am already disappointed in Glenn, it’s not about him.
Watching Beck feed from TikiLIVE ... This is incredible!
Griff Jenkins on Fox: It’s one mile from the Capitol to the monuments . . . and it’s packed!!
Glen is ill informed then. You can’t fill Pennsylvania Avenue with 60,000 people.
“The America that Washington forgot!” per Griff Jenkins (Fox news reporter)
And I think from past demonstrations that one mile = roughly 1 million...
I just heard FOX radio news at 1:00 PM Eastern Time.
FOX mentioned the march....it was the third story on the hourly radio news....and they said “thousands” were marching.
FOX said the march was an out-growth of the “so-called” tea parties.
Sounded a bit biased to me.....
It was a wink, wink estimate. Get it?
DC police said 1.2 million. Michelle Malkin is saying 2 mil.
thnks for the pic!!! My heart swells with joy!

Has crowd pictures but, I can’t seem to get audio (except for some guitar muZak)

has video and audio of speakers(live feed starts after a 15 second commercial)
Beck needs to know that there are wildly different estimates.
Just to blindly repeat 60,000 as “the official estimate” is crazy.
Can somebody get through to Beck.
Let him know Michelle Malkin’s report.
He trusts her.
the msm will probably try to claim that is what today’s crowd left behind!
THEY LIE!
Oh, wow. And God bless every one of 'em :)
Really.I don’t get Fox radio.
