Along the way we were visited again by a number of elderly veterans at one of Texas' fine roadside parks. Congressman Doggett's third cousin knitted this flag for us there. I then took the flag and presented it to some of the veterans on the road to San Antonio.
We did receive deflating news late in the
day. As we arrived in Pleasington we received notice that if our group entered the city limits of San Antonio these veterans would be arrested. We are only 22 miles away from our destination and the news was met with shock. Here we are so close to our destination only to be stopped by authorities who do not fully understand the law. As I would hope to explain to the authorities in San Antonio, the United States Constitution protects everyone's right to travel.The irony is that the good police of San Antonio will be used to arrest the very people who helped to protect the rights they enjoy. I would hope that calmer heads would prevail.
Channel 4 News back home got a hold of the story. I have since been indundated with phone calls of support.

Don't let this stop you. Please. Don't stop marching, brave men.
We have GOT to take our country back before it's too late.
