It was quite impressive to see all of the people who showed up at Chick-Fil-A last night.  I figured it would be an hour wait to get our food.  We wound up getting to the front door in an hour!  By the time we received our order, we had been there an hour and fifty nine minutes!  They had already ran out of wraps, strips and ice cream earlier so we enjoyed some very good chicken sandwiches and waffle fries.  JD loves their food and is very happy that SIUE has a Chick-Fil-A in the campus food court.

While in line, we saw people paying for the next car in the drive thru and that continued all the while we were in line near that area.  Every car kept paying for the next car behind them, not wanting to break the chain of good will.  A few protesters showed up with signs while we were there but most people just ignored them although they were trying to engage the people in line, offering to answer any questions we might have.  I was going to ask them the score of the Royals game but stuck to my plan to ignore them.

It was cool to be a part of the show of support for the chain and let people know that free speech and Christian values are going to be stood up for and protected. Here are some photos from last night.
