On March 19th, 2007
organizers and volunteers commemorated the 4th anniversary of the Iraq
war by setting up and displaying 3200+ luminaries around the paths
and walkways of Lake Ella in downtown Tallahassee.
Hundreds
of Tallahasseeans and folks from the area came for a stroll
and reflection of the toll the Iraq War has taken
on our sons and daughters. Not all remained silent, as many a
conversation about getting OUT of IRAQ was witnessed.
Below
is a pictorial essay of the event starting just before dusk and
extending
'til after sundown.
Both serene and sobering, the
views around Lake Ella provided ample opportunity for reflection on
the events of the past four years and where we as a country are headed
in the future.
The event was one of thousands
organized nationally by
United for Peace and Justice
and
MoveOn.org.
