I think we need to get as many photographs of the rallies as possible AND SEND COPIES TO THE TROOPS. I think this would be a tremendous moral booster.{{{{{{U S Army EOD}}}}}}
Bless your heart and thank-you for your service to our country. Also, thank-you for confronting the antis. I was told I should go back and say something to them, but I am very aware of my temper and told the person suggesting that that it was not a good idea.
Your idea of sending the pics to the troops is a great one. I hope to get more at the rally in Atlanta this weekend.
finally online somewhere, it was on the radio, it was in 2 local papers, but not on the internet:

Central Georgians Show Support for U.S. Troops
3/9/2003 11:48:49 PM
More than 150 people gathered outside the Baldwin County Court House to rally behind deployed troops.
People attending the event said it was not a pro-war rally, but a way to show support for the troops deployed and for the way President Bush is handling the crisis with Iraq.
The rally had its rough moments.
Two anti-war demonstrators showed up, leading some of the people supporting the troops to turn around to face them.
One anti-war demonstrator answered he had a right to express his views.
The discussion ended peacefully without any major incidents.
For the organizer of the rally, Jean Peecher, it was a way to show which side has a majority.
She said, "I want President Bush to know the number of people supporting him. I want the troops to know the number of people suppporting them. I think we are the majority not the anti-war protesters."
