"TWENTYNINE PALMS - Sitting along dusty Adobe Road near the Marine base where President Bush visited Sunday, Terry Davis held a one-man protest against the war that took his son.
Davis was doubtful that Bush would drive by and stop to chat about Zachariah Scott Davis but nonetheless sat in the bed of his red pickup for hours.
The president spent the morning at the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center to attend church and have lunch with Marines and their families as part of a three-day visit to California.
A former Marine, Terry Davis said he supports the troops, but feels that this is the 'wrong war.'
'If my son had died while trying to find (bin Laden) it wouldn't be as bad as him dying on a false pretense. But we couldn't go into Saudi (Arabia) after Bin Laden because they are oil friends,' he said.
Zachariah Davis, 25, was killed on Jan. 6, 2005, by an improvised explosive device while serving in the volatile Al Anbar province of Iraq for Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Terry Davis' other son is also a Marine.
'(Bush) has never been here before, but now that his poll numbers are so bad, he's trying to make up for it,' Davis said. 'Active Marines can't say that, but I can. . .'"
