A million vet march to protest the government closing of memorials next weekend in DC is gaining traction.

The link provided in the original post gives no information about a "March" protesting the closings...but rather is a petition that appears to be somewhat politically motivated. I can see where it would have led one to believe otherwise.

I am providing the correct link to the "March on DC" information. I would do this event, but I will be in Alabama for a Veterans Event that weekend.

One of my friends is furloughed here in Indianapolis because of the shutdown. He's an air traffic controller at Indianapolis International Airport. I guess ATCs aren't considered "essential personnel," at least not all of them.

And we're flying out west on Oct. 30th. Hope they have them back to work before then :shock:

The essential and non-essential worker term has been changed because it seemed too mean on the workers that were told to stay home. The term now is Effective and Non-Effective employees. What a joke. My son is a Special Agent and he is working for no paycheck as long as this lasts. I'm waiting for him to hit me up for money any day now.
