This is courage and strength. It will be ignored by those who lack both.

"Cindy Sheehan tries to keep cool Sunday while protesting near President Bush's ranch in Crawford."

CRAWFORD, Texas (CNN) -- A mother whose son was killed in Iraq says she is prepared to continue her protest outside President Bush's ranch through August until she is granted an opportunity to speak with him.

Later, in a TV interview, a Democratic senator from California said the episode evokes images that were commonplace during the Vietnam War.

Cindy Sheehan's 24-year-old son -- Army Spc. Casey Sheehan of Vacaville, California -- was killed in Baghdad's Sadr City on April 4, 2004. The Humvee mechanic was one of eight U.S. soldiers killed there that day by rocket-propelled grenades and small arms fire. They are among the 1,829 American troops, including 31 this month, who have died in Iraq since the U.S.-led invasion in March 2003.

The president -- who is spending a nearly five-week-long working vacation at his Texas ranch -- said in a speech Wednesday that the sacrifices of U.S. troops were "made in a noble cause." Sheehan said she found little comfort in his comments.

1. Wish Cindy would take some advice from someone who knows.

Get the Hell out of that Texas sun before you get heatstroke. Everyone, don't forget to donate to crawfordpeacehouse.com starting tomorrow to help these people.

2. Cindy has more guts

integrity and patriotism in her little finger than the entire * clan has in their collective DNA.

She is a great American, a true American.

God bless Cindy Sheehan!

3. I wish her luck and hopefully someone can get her an umbrella

for shade, one of those big ones that have a stand. Getting wet now and then is not a bad idea either, but do it under some shade. The heat up there has to be oppressive.

5. My God! If Hell is anything like the heat in Texas...

I don't want any part of it. Cindy needs some shelter...at least an umbrella! I'm afraid for her...She can get dehydrated and experience heat stroke in seconds in that sun.

I hope that rat bastard coward pays for all the suffering he has caused. He has no soul.

Peace.:patriot:
