According to WIVK radio approximately 2,000 people braved the rain and came out to a "Support Our Troops" rally. The Knoxville News Sentinel said that by 9:00 there were approximately 1,500.

1,500 Defy the rain to attend "Support Our Troops Rally"

Only 200 attend the Anti-War rally in Oak Ridge. Guess which one makes the front page?
