LYNCHBURG, Va. – Rain, sleet, snow, or shine, the Monument Terrace Troop Rally has gathered every week in Lynchburg since November 2001.
Nearly a hundred people showed up for Friday’s milestone – the 1,000th consecutive week – and some have been in attendance since the very beginning.
Steve Bozeman helped organize the first rally and says they were supporting the military after the terrorist attacks of September 11th, but he didn’t think it’d last this long.
“We thought maybe 500 would be it; but once we got in Afghanistan, Iraq, then back in Afghanistan again; it just kept going one Friday after another. So, we kept showing up,” Bozeman said.
