"These two young men are enjoying the freedom to attend the institution of their choice. How dare they challenge the right to prayer before their dinner?...They are about to become Officers in the US Military, the leaders of men...I would love to be there with them when they are caught in a crossfire between the enemy and OUR forces and all hell is breaking loose and if I ever heard one of them ask God to get them through this I would whisper in their ear. 'You can't do that, you may offend someone.' Keydets, get real, get perspective and Pray to God because He's the only one that will get you through life and will get you home."
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals brought its campaign against cruelty to circus animals to the Roanoke City Market, and with help from a local radio station created a bit of a spectacle. One of the demonstrators (Teresa Humphreys/Clifton Forge) appreciated our coverage, but growled about some of it.
"I think each individual who was there standing up for what they believe in was extremely important and there should have been an overall shot of the crowd, not just Tarina (Keene) stepping out of her robe and preparing for the demonstration. Only our signs were shown, not our faces and that to me seemed a bit rude of WDBJ-7 as if we weren't as important as the crowd drawing attraction...I'm glad to see that your station took this seriously and considered it important enough to cover, unlike another local station who is located only blocks away but sent no one to cover the events of this day."

But David Duval was making a charge. He had 7 birdies thru the first 10 holes but he missed this birdie putt that would have tied Woods for the lead. Duval's 67 put him at 14 under par.
