From the article:
“A group of people watching the address on CNN in a backyard in Alamitos Heights cheered and applauded; it was the gathering’s first audible reaction to Biden’s speech, though there had been nods of agreement from the mostly quiet viewers.
They were members or friends of Military Families Speak Out, an organization of military families around the world who are opposed to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and who have a loved one currently in the Armed Forces who has served in the military since 9/11 or who has died as a result of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.”
