133. The San Francisco Chronicle mentioned his visit in an article about Cindy.
Bush's response didn't seem to dampen the mood at Sheehan's vigil. She kept a cell phone glued to her ear most of the day doing interviews, pausing only to hug supporters who came from as far as Belgium, while others prepared signs to wave at passing cars.

Among the supporters was actor Viggo Mortensen, co-star of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy. He spent a few moments privately with Sheehan, thanking her for her protest.

Mortensen, a longtime activist and one of the first actors to wear an anti-war T-shirt on national television, gave Sheehan a raft of gifts: a handful of "No Blood for Oil" T-shirts he had painted; a copy of George Orwell's "Animal Farm"; a book by author and activist Howard Zinn; and "Twilight of Empire: Responses to Occupation," a book co-written by Jodie Evans, who is a top organizer with Sheehan's vigil.
