Midway through yesterday's "Rally for America" at the Cranberry Township Municipal Building, a speaker asked those with family members stationed in the Middle East to raise their hands.
Dozens of open palms shot up among the waving flags and hoisted signs with slogans supporting the troops.

This is great coverage. It must be the Post Gazette midnight edition.
I'll be surprised if this article sees the light of day.
Western Pennsylvania statistically sends a disproportionately large number of soldiers to wars.

"1,500?" That's MMM (Million Mom Math). There were rally only 7 people there and 5 were reporters. hahaha
Seriously, there were 1500 freezing supporters who had a great time and we were constantly 'cheered' on as the cars going by with the drivers honking the horns. For the news outlets that said we had 'hundreds' - We had seating for over a hundred who took part in the program in one way or another. The lot was full of people packed tightly together in an attempt to stay warm.
