I think they were both Marines. And I know you seemed very touched by their service. But there was maybe just 50? 75? 100 people? And of course you had an event at the exact same location on Saturday and it was packed. It was overflowing. I also think that coincided with people [starting] to pay close attention to the candidates. We were immersed in it. People...
