Appreciation for the demonstrators

To all the wonderful young people in our country,

I don't care if you are Millennials, gen x, or the other ones I have forgotten. The people I'm talking about are the ones who care enough and are fit enough to stand in the freezing cold to fight for the oppressed and to stand up for what is right. I'm a baby boomer and I have been marching for a long time, sometimes the crowd was all white haired, but we've been waiting to pass the torch and when you were most needed you came through in the biggest of ways. Congratulations on all who are fighting for justice, you are the best. A big shout out to all the ages out there, I wish I could join you. Americans are caring and good.

My 50-something friend is out there too. I'd be there with her if I lived close by. Plenty of us old folks are activists.
