Post 8/28...

The media coverage of the Restoring Honor Rally was pathetic. They just couldn't quite figure it out. They called it political. There was nothing political about it. They grossly underestimated the crowd. We sat under the trees to the left just up from the fountain. There were crowds all the way to the Washington Memorial. We think there were close to 500,000 peaceful, law abiding, happy people there. People who came to show their support for the restoration of the values espoused by our founding fathers when they wrote our consitution.

There was a counter rally sponsored by many groups which included socialists, communists, union groups, etc. held on Oct. 2, 2010. Here is a photo of the crowd that gathered. Most people didn't even stay through the event.

Here the crowd is leaving the 8/28 event. People stayed for the entire three hours. We hung around for about 30-40 minutes after it ended just to let some of the crowd disperse. People continued to visit with new friends and just to linger in the spirit of the day a little longer.

One of the main things we noticed as people were leaving was how clean they left the area. I took this photo. We were amazed. We couldn't find scraps of paper or garbage anywhere except near the garbage containers which had piles of garbage bags around them. Everything was cleaned up.

This is what the mall looked like after the Restoring Honor Event.

Notice the huge contrast. These photos were taken after the 10/2 One Nation event.

The lack of respect for these sacred grounds was obvious. These people don't value our historic memorials or the people they were designed to honor.

This is the picture Tricia took of the memorial grounds. You can easily see the contrast. The attendees of the Restoring Honor rally, respected and honored their country and its sacred memorials. They left it spotlessly clean. That pretty much says it all.
