But the person who really caught my attention was a woman named Bethany Berry. Bethany is an 18-year-old who for a time this morning was guarding the pro-Bush campsite on her own while the other supporters were at work or attending to family affairs. Bethany’s father is John Berry, a chaplain with the U.S. Army Reserves and currently serving in Iraq. He has been in and out of the military since 1972. Bethany has spent her life migrating from one small Texas town to another in accordance with the responsibilities of her father’s work. She’s lived in Crawford the past two years.

Berry tells The Buzz, “I’m just here supporting my president. Before my Dad went to Iraq, he was the Methodist preacher for the town.”

Berry says the protestors have been mostly respectful of her and other Bush supporters. But all that changed recently. “One of them came up to me and started taking pictures. It kind of made me uncomfortable, but that’s their right. But the next day a group of them came up to me and said those pictures had been posted on the Internet and the protesters were making fun of my picture. It kind of shocked me. I almost wanted to throw up.”
