Anniversary
March Against the War: Remembering the Fallen
On March 22, 2008 over 600 people participated in the 5th
Anniversary march and rally against the war in Iraqi (see www.RememberingTheFallen.org). As we rallied, the 4,000th American Soldier died in this
illegal and immoral war. At the rally,
which took place in downtown Albany in the Capital West
Park, participants set up a
display with the names of nearly 4,000 of the fallen US soldiers and also the
identities of 4,000 Iraqi civilians who have died.
