16 Words/9,500 Lives
Join a candlelight vigil at the U.S. Capitol to remember the lives lost because of the 16-word lie spoken by President Bush at last year's State of the Union address.
βThe British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa.β
During this year's State of the Union, Military Families Speak Out β supported by Veterans for Peace and other peace groups and faith communities in the DC area β will mount a powerful, respectful remembrance of the 500 American soldiers who died in Iraq and the estimated 9,000 Iraqi civilians who were killed in the war and the chaos that followed. The vigil will begin at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 20, along Third Street NW between Constitution and Independence Avenues. For more information, click here.
