Supporters of Iraq war counter antiwar rally with their own in Washington

Military families and other people protested the anti-war demonstration on Sunday the 25th of September. These protestors knew that their rally would be much smaller than the anti-war demonstration, but they said that their message would not be overshadowed. Many of the military families have been very upset with the lack of support of the war. The anti-war protest was among the largest protests in the country since the US invasion. There was quite a feud between the anti-war protestors and the pro-war protestors. At times there were two groups separated by a police line that were shouting at each other. Even though there was such a small amount of pro-war protestors, they felt that their message was made very clear.
