17. I'll never forget it either, Will.
Here's an interesting update on the counter-protest from the AP. They're over at the Navy Memorial... that's, like, nowhere near the march!

About 40 counterprotesters lofted "Support our troops" signs in front of the Navy Memorial, a few blocks from the main demonstration. Among the participants were soldiers being treated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center.

Army Cpl. Joshua Sparling, who lost his leg to a roadside bomb in November 2005 in Ramadi, said the anti-war protesters, especially those who are veterans or who are currently on active duty, "need to remember the sacrifice we have made and what our fallen comrades would say if they are alive." Sparling, 25, is based at Fort Bragg, N.C.

The counterdemonstration vilified Fonda's appearance at the rally. They set up a fake Fonda doll hanging from a noose and taped a sign to it that read "Jane Fonda American Traitor."
