Over 200 Demonstraters from the greater Grand Traverse Region stood in a late season blizzard on the 2nd anniversary of the US occupation of Iraq.
100,000 PLUS Dead, U.S. Out of Iraq!, and Enough is Enough! These were the themes of the day for over 200 demonstrators in Traverse City, Michigan on Saturday March 19. Even as a late season blizzard blanketed the region, residents from the greater Grand Traverse area gathered for a day of protest and mourning for the 10,000’s Iraqi deaths under U.S. occupation, in addition to the 1,500 U.S. deaths.
The protest took on a visual representation of the deaths with participants lining Grandview Parkway holding over a half-mile long string of dangling black ribbons to represent all the lives lost in Iraq. The display was intended to be a display of unity, and a vigil in opposition to the War On Iraq.
