On The National Mall
By Lt Col P
I took a nice long run yesterday down on the Mall, the first really since I got back from Benning. Having seen the coverage of this vile act at the Vietnam Memorial, I wanted to go and take a look at The Wall myself.
I saw the section in question fenced off with cones, and as I came up a worker was breaking down a steam cleaning apparatus. There was another worker there, a lady I took to be in charge so I asked her how it was going. She said that it was going well, and in fact when I looked closely at the panels I couldn't see any lingering stain or damage. I thanked her for taking the time to right a wrong, and went on my way.
Also out in force were folks from the Gathering of Eagles. Nowhere to be seen were any hippies. Probably smart of them not to show. Because I was wearing my USMC/Airborne t-shirt, I got hoo-rahs! and airbornes! in equal measure. I was pleased to return both.

A poignant reminder that no responsible person in the Loyal Opposition has yet to reject the "General BeTrayUs" ads, nor the Times' subsidy thereof to the tune of $100,000.
And contrast the vapid pseudo-intellectualism driving this brutish behavior with the thoughtful reporting here: >A href="http://www.opinionjournal.com/editorial/feature.html?id=110010610">
