Across from "Camp Casey," about eight people were gathered at "Camp George" in support of the president. Parrish Stevens, of Indiana, said people need to know all of the positive things that are happening in Iraq because of the troops - such as hospitals opening and children attending school. Stevens is on break as a contractor in Iraq.
