We got to the rally 3 hours before it was supposed to start... and were surprised to find the area totally packed with people... we got stuck outside the fence of the overflow area... but we could see a Jumbotron and hear everything that was going on... so we were luckier than a whole lot of people that arrived closer to the actual start time. I was touched most by the first speaker, the mother of a young Special Ops soldier, that at the age of 5 decided he wanted to be a Ranger... it was his life long dream... he left 4 young children when he died... it was a heart breaking story... I was inspired by the speakers and the people around me everyone was so upbeat and positive. There were a few park police with snotty attitudes, but most of them were helpful and courteous.
Looks like it was a great trip!
