Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan began her 3000 mile trek across the USA on bicycle for her Tour de Peace bike ride for peace.
The ride's purpose is to end war and, suppression of civil rights, and to end partisan apathy and inaction.
The tour began at the Arlington West war memorial at Santa Monica Beach, where crosses and mock coffins are placed on the beach every Sunday to honor the U.S. war dead.
Cindy Sheehan's son, U.S. Army Specialist Casey Sheehan, was killed 9 years ago fighting in Iraq.
