Today, my family and I decided to attend a rally in Columbus, GA, that was meant to support the veterans who are rallying in Washington, DC. This was the first rally I had ever been to. Although the numbers were slightly disappointing, I was not disappointed by the principles upon which these people stood.
The number of people who attended this rally was small. This was due to a lack of organization. When you think about the fact that probably a couple of dozen people showed up, last minute, to stand up and be counted among the greatest citizens in our country, I think that we did alright!
We rallied at the National Infantry Museum in Columbus, Georgia. Although it was only about a 20 minute drive for us, some attendees drove from close to Atlanta, over one hour away! We stood outside of the Infantry Museum for a couple of hours. All of us believed that the government has overstepped its bounds and is too large.
What happened today inspired me to become more involved in what happens in America. I will be more active politically. After all, it's my country too!
