Marin Vigils for Cindy Sheehan
Wednesday, August 17, 2005, see details below
Cindy Sheehan, mother of Army Specialist Casey Sheehan who was killed
in Iraq, continues her vigil outside President Bush’s ranch in
Crawford, Texas. She was recently joined by more moms who lost a child
in Iraq and other military families. Meanwhile President Bush continues
his five-week vacation and pledged Thursday to keep U.S. troops in
Iraq—meaning more moms will lose a child.
Cindy has asked supporters to start candlelight vigils in their
communities to support her and call for an end to the war. Our vigils
will be simple and dignified. Together, we'll acknowledge the
sacrifices made by Cindy Sheehan, her son, Casey and the more than
1,800 brave American men and women who have given their lives in
Iraq—and their moms and families.
