Occupation confirmed, you should be worried! by Cory V. Clark
Many of the veterans went to sleep between 10:30 and 11 P.M., preparing for the early and long day ahead of them, while supporters continued on with their conversations well into the morning without regard for the needs of the body, so long as the needs of the soul were being met.
I live Red, White and Blue even in my sleep by Cory V. Clark
I woke up at 5:30 to return a sleeping bag I had borrowed from a protester that had gone to work during the night. After McDonald's for coffee and a bathroom break, I came back with some of the other veterans who had also gone out to get coffee for people when they woke up.
We made it back to begin rallying the troops at 6:30am to clean up the area of operation and prepare for the day ahead.
While people were cleaning, there was discussion of turning this into a permanent occupation, in the end it was decided that we would wait until later and see if the V. A. would send out their promised representative, they were the ones to make the offer after all, why wouldn't they send someone out.
