BOULDER ― In sandals and winter boots, in rain and snow and sun, their feet tread the red bricks with a silent request: Bring them home.
They push strollers and wheelchairs, carrying flags and signs with that same message: Bring them home.
They ignore the taunts and epithets flung by college students and counter-protesters, focusing on their goal: Bring them home.

"That's why we do this," she said.
