I saw this guy lugging a cross up near the Viet Nam War Memorial in DC. His name is John and he says he carries the cross in a different majory city each Good Friday and each September 11th. He says that he is raising money to carry the cross in Baghdad next Easter. I don't know if the photo conveys just how massive the cross is. It must weigh a couple of hundred pounds at the very least. Note the towel on the guys shoulder that serves as a pad.
I got a close up of the end here to show how solid this thing really is.
As an aside, here is a homeless guy getting into the 911 celebration spirit.
And here is a woman who showed up all alone, on her own, to protest Bush in front of the White House on Sept 11. Her name is Mindi I promised I would put her picture up here so she could see it.
