It was such a momentous day, that students from Guardian Angel School made the trek to Cape Girardeau and waited in the rain for their opportunity to see a president in person. Nathaniel Woods went with his grandparents, Suzanne & James Sindle, and kept telling them he couldn't believe he was there. More of the family had planned to go to the first Trump rally, that was cancelled due to the upcoming arrival of Hurricane Florence, but they had prior engagements for the rescheduled night.

Guardian Angel students and brother and sister, Owen & Ava Forehand, attended with their parents, Genni & Danny Forehand. They were very excited to be a part of history, too. Other families from Guardian Angel School also attended the rally and will enjoy telling the story of seeing President Trump in person at the Show Me Center for years to come.
