The Day Casey Died: Cindy Sheehan Remembers - Video/Text
August 31st, 2005

On the last day of Cindy Sheehan's vigil outside President Bush's estate in Crawford, we look back at the day her son, Casey, died. We speak with a U.S. army soldier who was wounded on the same day Casey was killed, an independent journalist who viaited the area shortly afterwards and Cindy Sheehan.

President Bush's vacation is officially over this week, as he returns to Washington. And there is little doubt that his time these past weeks at his Crawford, Texas estate will forever be remembered as the summer of Camp Casey, named for 24 year-old Casey Sheehan who was killed in Baghdad's Sadr city on April 4, 2004. By now, you'd have to be living in a news vacuum to not know the name Cindy Sheehan, Casey's mother, who set up a lawn chair down the road from Bush's property at the beginning of the president's 5 week vacation to demand that she be allowed to speak directly to Bush. What grew out of that simple act was an antiwar tent city of sorts that has seen a stream of visitors. Among them: families with soldiers deployed in Iraq or who had their loved ones killed there, veterans of the current Iraq war, musicians Joan Baez and Steve Earle, actors Martin Sheen, Margot Kidder and Native activist and actor Russel Means. Scores of activists and other concerned or inspired people have joined the camp at various points. There have been literally hundreds of journalists in Crawford; among them, the celebrities from the White House press corps. There have also been counter-demonstrators and prowar families.
Over these weeks, Cindy Sheehan's vigil has served as an igniting spark for the antiwar movement and has provided a gateway into a broader discussion across the US on the occupation of Iraq. Well, as Cindy Sheehan prepares to leave Camp Casey in Crawford, we wanted to focus in on the story of her son and his death more than a year ago in Baghdad's Sadr city. In fact, Casey Sheehan was killed on Sunday, April 4, 2004...
