STRIKES AGAIN!!!
CNTTXAN just called and indicated that an individual who is with the 1st CAV just spoke and really had the crowd going. He was in the first Gulf War and just got back from another tour to Iraq with IraqiFreedom.
This is really getting some major press now.
They indicate that the other pro troop rally has over a 100 people as well...between the two rallies now between 250-300 supportters there...most of them coming with less than a day's notice.
Next major update still at 2:30 PM, Texas time.

His third BTW. The middle one was voluntary and he only a month or two on each side of it at home.
He talked of how grateful and brave the Iraqi people were. He also talked of how moved the soldiers were when the Iraqis waved their "purple fingers" at them.
He told of one man who would come to the wire and ask for him, since he spoke some Arabic. The man would bring produce from his farm for our troops. One day he reported an IED being buried on the road the troops used regularly. The troops couldn't find it, so the man mounted up with them in a Humvee, right in front of all the neighbors, and went out and showed them were it was. He later got a night visit, but fortunately it was only a "warning"... this time anyway.
