I can picture your trek well, as I have been in DC on several days like that, in summer heat and cold of winter. As a matter of fact, I was in of of the marching bands that played in 1973 at Richard Nixon's 2nd Inaugural. A cold day indeed... Great story.

Free will allows that you carry a firearm and not discharge it in public, free will allows that we would pass out sentimental tokens of our patriotism and not devalue them by leaving them strewn around like garbage. Free will says 2 million, sure, if they will come let them. What you describe is both what we love and what we hate about this Country. We love the high points and despise the low. These things you have endured remind me of what Kennedy said about why we went to the moon " We choose these things not because they are easy but because they are hard." You chose to give up logistic, security, and certainly comfort to witness history. In time your bones will thaw, your memory will move past the little annoyances, but what will remain is the fact that when you hear "America the Beautiful"" it will mean more to you. It Will. Great work, on behalf of everyone here waiting for your reports, I thank you and I trust that you will live to treasure the times in which you chose to participate.
