| Candlelight Vigil on Milwaukees Lakefront |
|
Just came back from the Candlelight Vigil along Milwaukee's Lincoln Memorial Drive next to Veteran's Park. It was held in memory of the 1000+ soldiers killed in Iraq.
There were maybe 100-150 people I would guess, maybe more. All lined up along the curb holding candles and signs. Brought my 2 kids with and they sat on curb with their candles. Lots of thumbs up and peace signs, lots of honking.
So sad that this even had to be...

I made a committment to phone bank for Kennedy prior to when the vigil got scheduled, or I would have been there.
Sad.

About 70 strong in Houdini Plaza downtown. I was a glorious mix of folks from small children to seniors like me. The circle kept growing continuously until we disbanded. Got local TV coverage as well - the Fox affiliate, believe it or not!
