Listing 3rd Anniversary of Iraq War Events(s)
in District of Columbia

Washington, District of Columbia
Silent Vigil for Peace
Saturday, March 18th 2006 noon
Each Saturday at Noon, for one hour.
For over three years, Quakers and others have been vigiling silently for peace on the West Lawn of the Capitol in Washington. This is not a demonstration, or a protest. We stand in silent witness for peace for one hour each Saturday. On March 18th, please come join us as the third anniversary of the tragic War on Iraq passes. Please bring no signs or banners, but do bring yourselves, and your hopes for peace.
Look for the simple blue banner, "Seek Peace and Pursue It" Ps. 34:14.
