Rally for troops at the Capitol

by Perry Finelli, Minnesota Public Radio

Veterans and supporters of Minnesota troops in Iraq rally today at the State Capitol to push for more armored vehicles for troops on the ground. The group "Operation Truth" is organizing the rally. It comes a week after Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld said vehicles in Iraq were being armed as quickly as physically possible. MPR's Perry Finelli spoke with Andrew Borene, an advisor for the group and a Marine who recently served in Iraq.
