Beth Chapman - Stand Up For America Rally

In February 2003 at the outset of the War with Iraq, Beth Chapman presented a four-minute speech at a "Stand Up for America Rally" for which she received five standing ovations from the 1,200 people in attendance.

"The Speech," as it has become known, immediately began circulating throughout newspapers, television and radio stations all across America and worldwide via the Internet. The speech drew international acclaim reaching all 50 states and more than 18 countries, the Pentagon, aircraft carriers, battlefields, victims of 9-11, veteran's organizations and all branches of the U.S. Military. It was entered into the Congressional Record, just weeks after it was written and presented, and is hailed by many as "One of the greatest speeches ever written."
