Reply #4: Wish I'd seen you there!

I saw four people carrying coffins a couple rows ahead of me wearing DU shirts, but obviously I couldn't stop and ask them who they were.

It was moving to look at, and to think about. But at the time, "moving" was a verb we used only ironically. When they torched the dragon, we were roughly at 29th Street, and we were stuck on that block for about an hour. My feet still hurt. (But at least I've still got them, as opposed to the real Iraq war casualties.)

I should also give props to the Thousand Coffins marshalls, who kept us all well supplied with drinking water.
