1,000th U.S. Military Death in Afghanistan
!Announced! (http://www.icasualties.org)
Tues, Feb 23 5p.m., Phila. City Hall (west side), 15th & Market St.
Vigil for Peace & Bell-Tolling, with reading of names of Pennsylvanians killed in Afghanistan
Mourn All The War Dead!
After eight years of war in Afghanistan we have now reached the grim milestone of 1,000 U.S. military deaths. Please join in this vigil of mourning for all the war dead; the untold thousands of Afghan and Pakistanis whose deaths we never hear about; and all the casualties of our war-torn economy that we have endured far too long. And join us as we demand an end to this insane war.
In the event of rain or a “wintry mix”, look for the vigil in the archway to the City Hall Courtyard , right behind the planned vigil site.
