Peace vigil by U.S. soldier's mom draws notice
CTV.ca News Staff

A protest by a grieving mother camped out near U.S. President George Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas is gaining steam.

About 50 people have pitched their tents in muddy ditches, have hung anti-war banners and are showing their support for Cindy Sheehan, who lost her oldest son Casey in Iraq.

Casey, 24, joined the Army in 2000. He was killed in Sadr City five days after he arrived in Iraq last year.

Sheehan has been camping out along the winding road near Bush's ranch since Saturday.

She says she wants to talk to the president and is vowing to remain put until his Texas vacation ends later this month.

"Before my son was killed, I used to think that one person could not make a difference," says the 48-year-old mother from Vacaville, Calif. "But one person that is surrounded and supported by millions of people can be heard."

She says she wants Bush to stop using her son's death to justify the war in Iraq.
