Veterans from every branch of the military have a message for our government. The message will be delivered in person at 9 a.m. on Sunday, Oct. 13, in Washington, D.C. and at war memorials all across the nation.
The Million Vet March on the Memorials is a grassroots movement started by five military brats, a term used to describe children of military members, to honor the nation's veterans.

I didn't see this posted on this thread:
From Sarah Palin's Facebook page:
We were proud to stand with thousands of America's vets and other patriotic Americans today in Washington, D.C. This morning, Todd and I met with Senators Ted Cruz and Mike Lee, and they joined us and other Americans at the World War II Memorial and then at the Lincoln Memorial, where we were met by a SWAT team in full riot gear!
Watching those who have fought to protect freedom prevented by barricades from visiting these memorials to freedom was truly heart wrenching. Seeing the unity of the American people as they joined together and rose up against this out of touch government was an inspiration. God bless our veterans, those who continue to serve, and their families.
I'll be posting an album of some photos from today. Below are the brief remarks I gave today:
We're here to show that the size of America's heart for our veterans is immeasurable! But look around – barricades to shut down our memorials? Is this how a Commander in Chief expresses his gratitude? This "shutdown" priority proves a shameful lack of respect. It reflects a person's lack of valor.
But, Vets, We the People have learned from you! We know America will only remain the "Home of the Free" so long as we are the "Home of the Brave!"
So, as we honor you, U.S. Military, know that our gratitude will not sleep! We will be brave! You were not timid, so we shall not be timid in calling out ANY who heart-wrenchingly would use you as pawns in a political game.
America's finest paid the price for our freedom today. Vets, you protected us from tyranny then. Rest now, it is OUR turn to protect against tyranny again.
Ronald Reagan said, "Some people live an entire lifetime wondering if they ever made a difference in the world." YOU, vets, need never ask that of yourselves. You made ALL the difference!
Our war memorials remind us of the cost to keep us free. YOU paid the price! Rest now! We will pick up the mantle. We won't let you down. We now take up the fight for freedom!
What an AWESOME thread!!!! I might have missed it without your ping. Thank you so very much.
Best pics evah. Just terrific!
God bless and keep Sarah Palin and her precious family.
Potent message.
Thank you so much for adding it to this thread!
Awesome photos at her FaceBook link.
Thank you so very much for your efforts. You are brightening my day. If it were not nearly 3,000 miles away, I’d be there in person.
Thanks so much, Gator113.
Sarah Palin ROCKS!
She’s always there for our Veterans.
Senator’s Cruz and Lee, too!
THAT would be amazing to see. LOL
You’re photos are absolutely the very finest!
Thank you so much.
God bless you, dearest OwenKellogg.
Some friends and I went over to Red River Gorge National Recreation Area this morning. The main road through the gorge was still open, but all of the side roads were gated and padlocked.
We thought about just parking and walking back to the Skybridge, but it was about three miles each way and one member of our group has some medical conditions that prevent her from making that long of a hike.
