Event Description:

It has been five years since the war in Iraq began. Since that time, nearly 4,000 United States soldiers and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis have been killed. This has prompted hundreds of soldiers to join Iraq Veterans Against the War, and openly denounce the US war on terror. Soldiers are deserting the military at an ever increasing rate. Meanwhile, over 60 percent of the American civilian population is opposed to the continuation of the war in Iraq.



On March 15, 2008, in downtown Lancaster, there will be a procession, town hall meeting, and silent vigil to demand an end to the five year occupation of Iraq. With your help, hundreds, and possibly thousands of people will come together to march for an end to the war.



Please stand with us for peace, and lend your support, whether it be through participation or donation. Pass this message on to your friends, family, neighbors, co-workers and members of your church and volunteer organizations. Ask them to join with us to show our opposition to the current war, and our support for a more peaceful world.



In peace,
