Hardly any birds flipped from cars going by. LOTS more younger people here where retirees are the biggest demographic. One apple cheeked young man, passing by me as we were all leaving "I LOVE America!" He was absolutely radiant. Guessing it was his first protest.

People in their 70s, 80s, 90s and several young families with well informed youngsters who seemed to be really enjoying the friendly crowd and quite proud to be a part of it.

One dear local activist had printed out scores of pages with the lyrics to "It's a Grand Ol Flag". She handed the sheets out and led us in singing. It took me back to my grandad teaching us that song... on Flag Day so long ago.

It filled my heart, renewed my strength, and gave me hope.
