Juniors Tsion Gebeyehu, Joseph Arce, Yohana Merho, Mady Nadje and seniors Nahom Ghebremeschel and Cindy Ezcurra settle down as the thousands of participants begin to camp out in front of the Capitol.

The colorful banner drew attention to this videographer who came over for an interview.

After checking in, marchers handed in pictures of themselves with a red circle around their face to identify themselves as an abducted participant.

As the thousands of marchers arrive, they hold their hands up in protest of child soldiers in Uganda and the United States' inaction.

Hands clutch the coarse rope tightly as the participants soldier on.

Blazers joined by other marchers make their way down the National Mall to the Capitol building where many chose to "camp out" overnight.

Participants walked in silence, representing the march that the child soldiers in Uganda are forced to take after being abducted.

A group of marchers walk in single file past the Washington Monument as they hold on tightly to a rope provided by the sponsors of the march.

Students proudly hold up their hand made banner as the walk from the Elipse by the White House to the Capitol building begins.

On a blazing hot Saturday afternoon, Blazers gather at Silver Spring metro on their way to the Capitol for The Rescue.
