I've seen reporting of 15k-20k people at Chicago No Kings.

For reference, The United Center holds 23.5k for concerts. We clearly wouldn't have fit.

There were so many marchers that two routes were used to get to Trump Tower.

The 75k Indivisible Chicago estimated seems very reasonable.

Like many of their generation, there was little discussion of their service. Hank passed before sharing his story. In retirement, Bob became a public speaker, sharing his story.

Today, the terminal at the Dubuque airport and the Post Office in Olympia Fields, IL, bear his name.

Never forget.

After the war, Bob and his brother Hank settled in Chicago. Bob, an electrical engineer, worked on street lighting systems. Hank, a chemical engineer, finished his career with Sunbeam. Hank was my dad's stepfather.

What albums come out when you were 21?

The National Sex Offender Registry site is at the moment of this writing, down.

It could be for routine maintenance.

It's pathetic that I can't give the government the benefit of the doubt.

This is Robert L. Martin. A Tuskegee Airman, he flew 63 and as he liked to joke, "and a half" combat missions in P-51's. Shot down while strafing an oil refinery in Yugoslavia. He was helped by resistance fighters and, after some time in hiding, made his way back to safety in Italy.
