We did not quite make reach 1,000 but we had several hundred people attending, many carrying posters with pictures of their loved ones now serving in Iraq. It was a rousing rally and every time the president was mentioned, there was a standing ovation. Our state senator, Thomas Moore, a democrat, had nothing but praise for the president and said this was the time to pull together for the troops.
LaWana McKenzie, a county council woman and local school principal who teaches patriotism in her school got a standing ovation when she told us to "turn off the tv, get down on your knees and pray for our men and women in the military and for our president"
. A tape was made of the rally and will be sent to President Bush.
Victory is the only exit strategy!
