6. Yes- there will be one at Arlington West at Santa Monica on Sunday
Veterans For Peace Invites the Public
to Attend Special Candlelight Vigil

At the Arlington West Memorial in Santa Monica, next to pier
This Sunday, October 30th ~ 5:00-7:00 PM for Candlelight Vigil
On the Occasion of the 2,000th U.S. Troop Death in Iraq

WHO: Special Invited Guests include: Members of Gold Star Families for
Peace, Military Families Speak Out, and Iraq Veterans Against the War

WHERE: Arlington West is located next to the Santa Monica Pier at Beach

WHEN: Sunday, October 30th

TIME: 7:30 AM – Help set-up crosses
4:00 PM Help set-up - candles
5:00 - 7:00 PM Candlelight Vigil
8:00 PM Help break-down crosses

NOTE: DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME CHANGES ON SUNDAY

Crosses will be erected in the sand by Veterans for Peace and
volunteers next Sunday, October 30th at Santa Monica Pier like every
Sunday, only for the first time will include 2,000 markers. A tribute
not only to the fallen U.S. soldiers in Iraq, but also to the countless
Iraqi civilians.

Flag draped coffins will rest in forefront, beside a 20 foot long board
that names the dead servicemen and women. Visitors are invited to write
the name of a soldier, any personal comment, and with a fresh flower,
place an identity to each cross and bring a candle for the vigil.

Volunteers are encouraged to come early to help set-up or stay late to
help break-down the temporary cemetery.

Veterans for Peace will also sponsor a special Veterans Day Weekend
program November 11-13 at Arlington West on Santa Monica Beach north of
the Pier.

If you have never visited Arlington West, please come. It's
unforgettable.

************Please note, there will be some people at Horton Plaza tonight, Tuesday, October 25, 4-7:30 p.m. if you want to be with others and feel so moved. We encourage you, however, to continue mobilizing for Wednesday's Candlelight Vigil.
