3,000 Dead - America Mourns

 

On December 31, 2006, the Pentagon announced that 3,000 Service Members had died in Iraq. MFSO-Chicago members from all over Illinois hosted and participated in community vigils to mourn the deaths of these brave individuals and to call for an end to the war and occupation in Iraq. The pictures is from a vigil held in the 8th District at the College of Lake County on January 2nd. We lit luminarias to mark the lives lost and noted with sadness the loss of potential these lives represented.
