Just the update.
 
 The rain held off for us today.  It was a beautiful Rally.  
 
 The reason we were in Iraq went across very well.  We even had two people say that they were sorry and wouldn t hold their anti-war signs again.  
 
 We added an extra speaker  Sixth District Congressman Bob Goodlatte,
 We invited everyone no matter what they thought about the war.
 
 We even had a British Flag there.  ( The young man from Britian was very kind and happy that his Country had their flag flying just as well as the American Flag and all Service Flags including the POW and MIA.
 
 Just a wonderful event and very powerful.    Alot of people were in tears as my husband read a letter from a soldier in Iraq to his wife.  When I have time I will post it on this board so you all can read.
