One Year After Bush Declares an "End to Major Combat," War Continues, Intensifies; Military Families Say "Bring Them Home Now!"

WASHINGTON - April 30- May 1st is the one-year anniversary of George Bush's speech declaring the end to major combat in Iraq in a carefully staged photo-op on an aircraft carrier in front of a banner declaring "Mission Accomplished". In fact, nearly as many service men and women have died in Iraq during the month of April, 2004 as died during all of "major combat" (the months of March and April, 2003). The violence continues in Iraq with no end in sight.

Military Families Speak Out and Veterans for Peace will be holding a vigil and demonstration in Washington, D.C. on May 1st to call for an end to the violence, an end to the U.S. military occupation of Iraq, and to bring the troops home now. Families and Veterans will walk to the Vietnam Memorial and leave pictures of loved ones who have died in Iraq as the result of a war based on lies.

WHEN: Saturday, May 1st at 10 a.m.

WHERE: Constitution Gardens (Constitution Avenue between 20th and 21st Streets -- near the Vietnam War Memorial).
