Several candlelight vigils were planned for tonight in Orange County to support the mother of a soldier killed in Iraq as she continues her protest outside President George W. Bush’s ranch in Crawford, Texas.

Cindy Sheehan of Vacaville, the mother of Army Specialist Casey Sheehan, 24, who died last year, began her campout at the ranch Aug. 6 and vows to stay there during the president's monthlong vacation until he meets with her and other military families.

Bush, who said he sympathizes with Sheehan, has made no indication that he will meet with her. Sheehan and other families met with Bush two months after her son's death, before she became a vocal opponent of the war.

Here are the planned vigil locations in Orange County. All begin at 7:30 tonight, and participants were asked to bring candles.
