17 Mar 2007 Vietnam veterans and supporters from all over the US converged on Washington DC to defend the Hallowed Ground of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall.
So, the call went out!
All of us in the Maine PGR, Rolling thunder etc, chipped in and rented a nice bus to D.C. It was snowing to beat Hell the night we headed down there, and it was a terrifying ride! Below is a stock photo of the type of bus we rented:

The next morning dawned bright and COLD!
There was almost no snow in D.C.But the wind was relentless!
Security was tight!
The troops weren't putting up with any guff!
The last little cutter with the leather jacket and PGR armband was (is) yours truly.

I don’t recall. Why was the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall needing to be defended at that time?

Our Vietnam Memorial wall here some years before that date was plowed into by a person deliberately. It was a beautiful marble wall. After a few years they replaced it with I think it is just painted black cement. Couldn’t afford another marble one.
