After action report on Rally to Support the Troops, Aiken, SC.
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!
I am a cyberfriend of the lady in Aiken area who has forgotten how to post things, so I do it for her. Together we make a good team. Just didn't want to let you go on thinking I was from Aiken. Actually, I'm from Vandalia, OH.
Thanks for the reply. I let her know about the replies.
O.K.
