DUer Ava receives a Camp Casey Peace Award....
Ava Lowery the 16 year old peace activist from Alabama behind the website, PeaceTakesCourage.com, and has received an amazing amount of attention. Ava's animations show the multidimensional tragedy of the Iraq war- losses of brave young soldiers to American families, and loss of innocent civilians in Iraq. Poignant and raw, Ava's youth and sincerity has attracted support from a broad base of both soldiers and activists. Ava is the Camp Casey Peace Institutes first Young activist Peace award winner.

Ava joins these other notable Peace activists...

Honorees:

Willie and Annie Nelson
Jodie Evans and CODEPINK
Ann Wright and Veterans for Peace
The Crawford Peace House


Congratulations to our Ava, who's making us proud and giving us hope for the future. This is a well deserved honor. :toast:

On a personal note, she's also excited about going shopping for an outfit to wear to the ceremony. She's so darn normal, yet so extraordinary. You go, girl!! :headbang:

9. I apologize.
I went back and read some of the later posts. While I take issue with some of the things Cindy said, some of the comments are unnecessarily harsh.

Cindy is a great anti-war leader, and not deserving of that treatment.
