If I had to guess, I&#8217;d say there were a few hundred participants, but less than a thousand, though. I know that won&#8217;t jibe with their numbers, but, I&#8217;m being generous.

This guy came in his police uniform and tolf the crowd that he is a Marine Corp veteran, his father is a veteran and supports Ron Paul and his grandfather, a veteran, supports Ron Paul, too, so that means all veterans support Ron Paul&#8230;that was the theme of the whole event &#8211; all veterans support Ron Paul. I guess I should have spoken up, but I didn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/thisainthell\/6911162187\/\" title=\"DSC_0027 by jlilyea, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7187\/6911162187_652fa62024.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" alt=\"DSC_0027\"><\/a><br \/>\nI saw a lot of mixed uniforms but, this guy was completely decked out.
