I was there also, along with my husband and 2 children. No doubt it was hot. My daughter and I were inside the gates close to the stage. My husband and son bailed and went to the Lincoln Museum and then were perfectly happy to watch on the Jumbo Tron (my son is autistic no way would he have been able to deal with being with that crowd, but we knew that and made adjustments accordingly.)
That being said, it was a great experience and I am happy we were part of it, especially for my daughter. We need our young people to know that ultimately, they have the power and together, we can change the world.
There is no substitute for "being there". Plus we got some good ribs afterwards at the ribfest outside the gate.
Thank you for your service to our country, sir.
