Vigil for 2000 Killed in Iraq

This week, the number of American soldiers lost while serving in Iraq reached over 2000. While thousands of families have made the ultimate sacrifice, thousands more send their children and loved ones off to a war that seems to have no end in sight.

Today, Wednesday, October 26, 2005 at 6:30 p.m. we will gather at vigils to remember and honor our fallen soldiers and ask, "How many more?"

Thousands of us will solemnly gather together and acknowledge the sacrifices made by over 2000 American men and women in Iraq and their families and speak out against the war.

Host your own Vigil for 2000 Killed in Iraq or sign up for an event near you.

Held in partnership with:

2. I just returned from one
A man arrived with a gold star pin on. His 21 year old son was killed in August. I can't even begin to describe the sadness in his eyes and how hard it was to look at the photos he brought with him...

3. Two of my photos are on the Moveon.org slideshow
Toward the end, there's a photo of candles that spell 2001 for the number of soldiers who had died that night. That and the one just before were two of the 4 I submitted to the site.
