Harbor in memory of these young men and women. Names of Iraq and Afghanistan  
civilians killed in the conflicts will also be read by family and friends.

*We mourn deeply all those who should not have lost their lives in war,  
sadly, perpetrated by misguided leaders, leading a misinformed public and an  
over-extended military into two immoral wars we greatly opposed. *
