Veterans vigils
Jack Bogdanski
I'm not sure how much healing these events are going to promote -- they may just exacerbate the nasty divisions we have within this country right now -- but Kerry backers are holding candlelight vigils around the country tomorrow night. According to the description at MoveOn.org:
More than 1,000 U.S. soldiers have now been killed in Iraq. 1,000 of our brothers, sisters, wives, husbands, moms, dads, sons, and daughters have given their lives in service to our country.
To honor them and reflect on the loss of their lives, Americans everywhere are organizing candlelight vigils.
The locations within 20 miles of Portland are listed here.
