A nice article about the vigil in Oceanside, CA, near Camp Pendleton.

Hundreds gather at North County beaches to oppose war

<snip>

Among the few active duty Marines at the Oceanside vigil Wednesday, Pfc. Michael Lewis, 20, of Virginia, said he held nothing against those gathered to oppose the war.

On the contrary, he said, "It just makes me want to fight a lot harder, make sure everyone comes back the way they went out."

Looking out over the candles and the chattering crowd, he said he was glad that at least people were gathering to talk about the war as he gears up to deploy in February.

"I guess the only thing that disappoints me," he said, "is that there are not more (people) here."

San Diego up to LA (stop at LA!) is my favorite place to vacation.

If I could only afford to live there, I would be there in a heartbeat.
I'm one of those Az people that invade your state every summer.
