In the same article re the protestors...the Supporters of the Troops was also reported... In a demonstration billed as "Operation Support Our Troops," about 100 people carried signs and held photographs of loved ones serving overseas with the military. Among them was Joyce DeLurme of Snoqualmie, whose son, Army Sgt. Ron DeLurme, 21, is stationed in Iraq. DeLurme wasn't in favor of her son joining the military. "He was only 17 ... I'm not one of these good patriotic moms who wanted him to go." Now that he is in Iraq, "I'm proud of him and support what he's doing," she said. At the rally, someone played "God Bless America" on a trumpet. A few women wore Statue of Liberty crowns. One man dressed as Uncle Sam. And everyone carried flags that billowed in the breeze. Beneath the overpass, many drivers honked and waved. A truck blasted its horn. A cavalcade of motorcycle riders thundered past, waving. Those in the rally above cheered. "See how many people wave to us and honk?" said Liz Jackson, an Air Force veteran and one of the rally's organizers. "This is the best poll to tell what America is thinking." seattletimes.nwsource.com
