The procession started at UN Plaza with a prayer by Buddhist monks. The somber procession, punctuated only by the chimes of peace bells, continued on to the San Francisco Federal Building, the Veteran's Building, and finally the steps of City Hall.

At each stop the names of Iraqi war dead, both US and Iraqi, were read in front of a backdrop of hand held placards showing a sea of names and faces.
