BIRMINGHAM (WWJ) - A rally of about 100 people supporting the U.S. taking action in Syria took shape Friday evening in Birmingham.

She wonders how she will cope with such possibilites.

Harris' mother and father just arrived to metro Detroit from Syria afraid for their lives.

She and others wanted to take a stand in support of President Obama and Congress intervening in the wake of possible chemical weapons use in Syria.

Many people in the gathering say they have family or friends that have been personally affected by the Assad regime.
