If they weren't so busy doing pro-troop duty, Move America Forward (www.MoveAmericaForward.org) could give lessons in positive to the discouraged. Move America Forward is trying to turn a negative into a positive in its plans to acquire the 5 acres of land in Crawford, Texas that has been the well-televised meeting place for anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan and her supporters.

What better place to erect a beautifully crafted "Monument to America's Heroes" than on Sheehan's well trampled anti-war ground?

Monument to America's Heroes Move America Forward has retained the services of award-winning real estate agent, Holly Williams ( www.HollyCountry.com) to broker the deal. Once the land has been obtained, MAF intend to erect the "Monument to America's Heroes" on the property.

"I'm honored to be able to broker such a deal, and help turn this piece of land into a memorial that honors our brave men and women who fought for our freedom overseas," said Williams. "I am familiar with the land having spent time in Crawford and seeing first hand how Sheehan used the land to undermine the mission of our troops. I can't think of a better use than to buy the land that was used to defile our troops and turn it into something beautiful that honors them."

An artist's rendition of the "Monument to America's Heroes", shown here can be found at the Move America Forward website.

Sheehan acquired the 5-acre plot of land in July 2006 for $52,000 using insurance money from the death of her son, Casey Sheehan, in Operation Iraqi Freedom. Cindy Sheehan declared at that time that the land would be used, "until George's (Bush) resignation or impeachment." However, this Memorial Day weekend Sheehan reversed course and gave her "resignation" as the face of the anti-war movement, announcing that the 5 acres in Crawford, Texas were up for sale.

"This land has been used as a staging ground for anti-war activists to denounce and denigrate the heroic service of the men and women of the United States Armed Forces. It is our intention to turn this around and make this a site that will honor the heroic accomplishments of the men and women who have fought with honor and courage in the war against Islamic terrorism," declared Melanie Morgan, Chairman of Move America Forward.

Robert Dixon, Executive Director of Move America Forward, said the money to purchase the land would come from the financial contributions of Move America Forward's one million members.

"We've already raised the initial sum to kick-start this effort and we will be collecting donations to fund both the purchase of this land to pay for the construction of the "Monument to America's Heroes"," Dixon said.
