Our FReep at the Iowa State Capitol today was a smashing success!

The State Patrol estimated the crowd at about 2000, which I think was pretty accurate.

Not a single peacemonger dared show their face, even though all of the local media touted the event in the last couple of days.

We got full-blown media coverage, including all 4 local TV stations.

We had a fantastic singer, bagpipers, full support by the veterans groups, and I spoke for about 15 minutes.

The highlight was that we put all of the families of those in active service on the steps in front of the podium...probably at least 200 people, and then I went down the row and had them share who their loved one was, which branch, and which outfit. Lots of tears flowed--it was very powerful.
