There were also protests in Wisconsin. Some were against the war and others were marching to support the president's plan to stay the course. http://nbc15.madison.com/news/headlines/1832326.html
About 30 UW Madison student members of the College Republicans rallied in support of the troops near University Square downtown.
Those in attendance say they came together to show their backing of the war and the President's promise to help rebuild Iraq.
"We believe in the concept that we have to be pro–victory in this country on the war on terror,” says Robert Thelen. “Currently we have about 130,000 troops in Iraq, and we want to make sure the President follows through on his promise to stay the course in Iraq."
Thelen says he and other supporters worries that pulling out the troops prematurely would cause thousands to lose their lives.
Ralliers also thanked military recruiters for their work by dropping off thank you cards to ROTC officials at their recruiting office in University Square.
Do you think that Robert Thelen is planning to enter the military to support those troops?
