"The media has elevated Cindy Sheehan as the voice of those families who have lost loved ones, but Cindy Sheehan speaks for a very small minority. We're going to tell the rest of the story now," said Zoller.

Also traveling from the Atlanta area is retired Lt. Col. Buzz Patterson (U.S. Air Force), who broadcasts "The Buzz Cut" radio show on the RighTalk Radio Network.

Patterson shares something in common with the other talk show hosts heading to Crawford, Tex.: He just returned from Iraq as part of the 10-day "Voices of Soldiers" tour.

"Our troops serving in Iraq made it very clear that they believe in their mission," Patterson said. "We must stand by them now, for if we don't, we will only embolden the terrorists who are doing everything they can to weaken America's resolve."

Additionally, caravans to Crawford to join the August 27 rally are being planned from Louisiana, Florida, Connecticut and other areas throughout the nation. Many caravans are being organized in conjunction with the supporters of Free Republic at their website.

"Free Republic is proud to support the 'You Don't Speak for Me, Cindy' Tour, and we are excited about joining the caravan to Crawford, Tex.," said Jim Robinson, founder and president of FreeRepublic.com.

"Our troops are fighting for our freedom and our very right to exist, and they deserve all the support we can possibly give them," Robinson said. "God bless them one and all."

Starting Wednesday, Move America Forward will begin airing a 60-second television commercial promoting the "Support Our Troops & Their Mission" rally in Crawford, Tex. The ad is expected to air nationwide on cable news networks or can see seen at the group's website.
