Another Gold Star Mom who feels exactly the opposite of Cindy Sheehan:
"Ibbotson, from Albion, Ill., said war protesters dishonor the service of her son and others who have died.
"There are families who lose children in accidents, in tragic illnesses. Young people die and it seems without a purpose," said Ibbotson, whose son was 21. "My son gave his life for a cause that he believed in. He fought and died for God and country."
Ibbotson is part of the Iowa-based group Families United for Our Troops. She's one of 25 "Gold Star" families who lost loved ones in Afghanistan or Iraq who will speak at a news conference this morning and then attend a rally for military families on the Mall on Sunday."
