The life of a peace mom is always—intense: Cindy Sheehan Planning Anti-War Bus Tour.
CRAWFORD, Texas - A fallen soldier’s mother said Thursday that the an [sic] anti-war vigil she started nearly three weeks ago near President Bush’s ranch won’t end when she and other protesters pack up the camp next week.
Cindy Sheehan said the day after she leaves Aug. 31, she will embark on a bus tour ending up in Washington, D.C., on Sept. 24. Then the group will start a 24-hour vigil in the nation’s capital.
“I am not alone,” she said at a news conference Thursday. “There’s the people standing behind me here, but there’s thousands of military families … who want the same answers to the same questions.”
On Wednesday, Sheehan returned to “Camp Casey,” named after her 24-year-old son, Army Spc. Casey Sheehan, who was killed last year in Iraq.
“This is where I belong, until Aug. 31, like I told the president,” Sheehan said at the Waco airport before driving about 20 miles to the Crawford site.
When Sheehan arrived at the campsite, she saw a large banner depicting her son’s face. She sobbed and said she felt ill. Supporters brought her water and cold towels, and she recovered about 20 minutes later.
