The only criticism I could put forward is the apparent lack of black representation. Generally the American black community make up a greater per capita share of those who go to war... but yet, they seemed unrepresented today.

That may be a fault of their own for not getting involved? But could more have been done to put the hand of brothers out to include them?

examiner.com reports 1900 marching; ~900 of which were veterans. Way cool. Wish it were 190,000.

"The assembly was instructed to render a salute and hold it for as many seconds as there have been returning veterans that have committed suicide while Obama has been in office. This portion lasted approximately 8 minutes."

"Then they went to "parade rest" and observed silent prayer for as many seconds as members of the military have died overseas while Obama has been Commander In Chief. This portion of ceremony lasted approximately 20 minutes. "

"The official march was heard in cadence to: "End the Fed", "President Paul", "End the Wars" and "Ron Paul Revolution, Legalize the Constitution".

agreed. I've seen some units where the makeup is sometimes 50% or more minority. Certainly that vid is not representative of the reality. Wish it could be more too.
