Eyes Wide Open: The Human Cost of War Comes to San Francisco
3/23-25, Boots to Symbolize Dead Soldiers to Be Exhibited in SF
Eyes Wide Open is a traveling memorial that exhibits a pair of empty combat
boots for each of the over 1500 American soldiers who have died in combat in the Iraq war. The boots are tagged with the names of the soldiers. There is also a wall of names to memorialize the Iraqis who have been killed. The Eyes Wide Open Exhibit is a project of the American Friends Service Committee and many co-sponsors.

San Francisco dates:
The Sunday March 27th vigil in Union Square has been cancelled due to risk of rain.
March 25th (Friday), 11:00 am with all-night vigil at Civic Center between Polk and Larkin; More details about events scheduled this weekend. From March 29th-31st, the exhibit will be in Sacramento, CA.
Approximately 35 people are needed each day of the exhibit to help set up and breakdown the memorial, greet visitors, and make sure that none of the boots walk away. Organizers are also asking that people consider donating phone cards for military families and shoes to memorialize the Iraqi casualties.
