Here is what Cindy said about the vigils: "I invite mothers everywhere to stand up with me so that no more of our sons and daughters se their lives for a war based on lies and deception. Join me in demanding the truth—and an end to the war—by organizing vigils across the country, before one more mother's child is lost."
