Question about your vigil - How many vets showed up?

[DanCa]

We had a fair sized gathering in Island lake about 41 people, about five of which were veterans. I was just wondering how many vets attended your service for cindy.

1. We may have had a few.

I was having difficulty hearing.

One young woman spoke about her brother who was serving his third tour in Iraq. She was standing in front of me, so I could hear her.

2. We had 60 people in Reading and of that...

There were 5 or 6 veterans, most notably, there was one from Vietnam who was in a wheelchair and one was an elderly gentleman.
