"You know in the first march I went on against the war in Vietnam there were 10 of us," Baez said as she met with a group of women whose sons died in Iraq or were being deployed there. "This is huge," she said.

"I think the question that nobody wanted to deal with is the question they're posing: did my kid die in vain? Because the answer is too awful," Baez said. She has never met Sheehan but said she spoke to her on the phone.

A Dallas caterer is supplying three meals a day to the crowd, paid for by donations.

"If I can do anything, sing a song, talk, listen, I'm here," Baez said. She performed on Sunday evening.
