Anti-War Group Brings Cause To Chicago

[im10ashus]

CHICAGO -- An anti-war group is coming to Chicago, and they will go to the Illinois office of the Speaker of the House, Illinois U.S. Rep. Dennis Hastert.

The "Bring Them Home Now" tour is in Chicago with a delegation of Gold Star families and veterans of the war in Iraq. Their message began with Cindy Sheehan's Gold Star Families for Peace.

"All four men in his unit who were killed should have been home," said Karen Meredith, whose son was killed in Iraq. "They were all killed after the extension. These are his dog tags, and they were given to me with his body when it came home in a flag-covered casket. That's what I have left of my son."

Sheehan, who maintained a vigil outside President George W. Bush's Texas ranch, is helping carry the tour across the country with veterans of Iraq and other wars and parents of soldiers.
