Sheehan, a controversial voice against the Iraq war, whose son, Casey, was killed in Iraq in 2004, appeared at Byrd Park yesterday afternoon. No one spoke or demonstrated in opposition to her appearance.
Sheehan appeared in Lynchburg on Thursday and in Charlottesville on Friday.
In Lynchburg, a group supporting the troops appeared at the rally, which was cut short by a thunderstorm, according the Lynchburg News & Advance.
As Sheehan started to briefly address the crowd, Angita Szelesta of Monroe, who said she has a son serving his second tour in Iraq, stepped in front of her and shouted: "If this isn't the America you love, what are you doing here?"
Others yelled "Go home!"
In Charlottesville, Sheehan spoke before several hundred people, most of them against the war, The Daily Progress reported.
Members of the Albemarle County chapter of the Republican Party organized a counter "pro-victory" demonstration, which started outside the Paramount Theater and ended with the two demonstrations mixing. Though much smaller in number, the counterdemonstrators were just as vocal. The combined rally was peaceful, and police reported no incidents.
