For my Canadian friends

We went down to the Mall to see the final ride through Washington of Rolling Thunder, an advocacy group that seeks to bring full accountability for prisoners of war and missing in action service members of all US wars. The group's first demonstration was in 1988, and today -- with hundreds of thousands of participants -- was the last, due to what the group says are rising costs and "increased harassment" from the Pentagon. I'll be sad to see this 31-year tradition end.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

stirring...Canadians have played a important roles in the global conflicts, and sacrifices were made by men and women in uniform and serving the maple leaf flag..
