Congrats Japple, and thanks for marching!

I was there with my wife and kids. By the time we arrived, we could not get close enough to the stage to hear what was being said, but we sure heard the cheering. It was an amazing and positive experience. Never participated in anything that huge before. Atlanta police estimated 60,000 people, per WSB-TV. When we reached hill tops, I would look ahead and behind and see people as far as I could see in both directions.
