It will feature military family members who have loved ones serving in the war against terrorism in Iraq or Afghanistan. The delegation will be led by Deborah Johns of Marine Moms. (Her son has served in Operation Iraqi Freedom).
Main caravan leaves from San Francisco, California on Monday, August 22nd. Other caravans will depart from around the country. If you want to be part of a caravan, email us with your name and location you will depart from and we will include in our caravan coverage so people in your area can depart with you.
Everyone arrives in Crawford, Texas for a giant “We Support Our Troops AND Their Mission” Rally on Saturday, August 27, 2005.
If you have a loved one serving in Iraq or Afghanistan and would like to join the caravan please contact Move America Forward’s Robert Dixon: Robert@MoveAmericaForward.org
That's precisely what makes this nation the Greatest on Earth. Even the stupid, selfish, war whores like her have the same rights as her brave son who gave his all, so that the rest of us may enjoy our freedom. Ain't this country great or what? You sound like an American at heart and in spirit, anonymoussierra.
I do love your country!!!!!!!!!thank you"Chong"
My Letter to Ms. Sheehan
MS. Sheehan I understand your grief over the loss of your son.
I see how your grief might be turned into hatred for the Commander and Chief who ordered him there, however indirectly.
I also agree that this war could have been avoided, at least for awhile, after all, any war can.
Where I have problems with your statements are only where I feel you do not understand, and in fact degrade, your son's sacrifice, and make no mistake it was a sacrifice.
Your son, like many others of his compatriots, volunteered to defend this country against all enemies foreign or domestic, not the enemies that the President so designates, not enemies that a Congress designates, but the enemies of the American people, enforced by our dully elected representatives.
It was not a President whom allowed this war to proceed, but a vote of the dully elected representatives of this great Nation, the Congress, twice.
If we are not bound by our elected representatives, then what kind of country our we living in.
If our fighting forces do not follow a civilian elected government (The Congress, not just the Presidency, whom some think may not have been properly elected), then what type of government do we live under.
If a minority of our dully elected officials can control the direction of our government, no matter how vehement their opposition, than I submit to you we do not live in a country that our forefathers envisioned and indeed your son would have lived or died for not.
I served for 10 years under a Commander and Chief whom I felt did not best represent the ideals of our country, but I would have given my life on his and the elected Representative Government’s orders had it been given.
My parents both disagreed with the Commander and Chief at the time that I served, but I would have EXPECTED them to have treated my death with the honor it disserved, to have said that I died serving honorably for my country, and not have tried to dishonor my death with feigned righteous indignation at a President whom I served under, with honor.
Bump!
(((((((((Hugs))))))))))))))

I am beyond angry. I am cool, calm and collected. I am exploring all options. I will not waiver. I will endure. I pray the Good Lord allows me to stay on earth long enough to see one of our Freedom Fighters elected President of the United States. It will happen. I will rejoice.

Thanks for the ping.
anonymoussierra - guess you were out there working for a living!
Cindy went back home today to care for her Mom, who had a stroke.
Not to worry though. Cindy says she'll be back in 24-48 hours.
What a devoted daughter/mom/ex-wife.
