Camp Casey - August 2005

            August 27, 2005
My first views of Camp Casey.  The crowd inside the tent.

When Cindy sat in that ditch on that hot, Texas August day in 2005, the world took notice.  The world was touched by this grieving mother's search for answers to her son's death.

Camp Casey, named in honor of Cindy's son, sprang up near that ditch.  For four weeks, thousands made a pilgrimage to Camp Casey to show their support for Cindy.

When Cindy sat in that ditch, she was a member of Military Families Speak Out (MFSO), an organization of military families against the Iraq (and later the Afghanistan) war.

As a board member of MFSO, I was sent to Camp Casey to represent the organization during the vigil's last five days.
