Supporters of Cindy Sheehan's anti-war movement carry a message to first lady Laura Bush as the protesters prepare to march along Prairie Chapel Road that leads to President Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas, Thursday, Aug. 18, 2005. The march continued despite the departure of Sheehan, president of the Gold Star Families for Peace, who left the encampment abruptly Thursday afternoon on the news that her mother was in faltering health.
