DESCRIPTION:This week marks the 4th anniversary of the military assault and occupation 
 of Iraq by our federal government and its military. More than 160 US cities 
 and towns will be marking this anniversary with public events. 56% of 
 Americans now oppose any further military force increases in Iraq.\n\nHere 
 in Humboldt County, Communities for Peace (CfP) has organized something a 
 bit different this year - NOT another march and rally, but a HUGE afternoon 
 vigil. (CfP is the group that has organized annual peace marches in Eureka 
 since the invasion.)\n\nCounty residents are being asked to arrive at any 
 one of three downtown parking lots in Eureka between noon and 1245pm - at 
 5th x D, 5th x H, or the Courthouse parking lot between 4th and 5th at K 
 street. There you will be handed one of 3200 lightweight tombstone placards 
 (the number of US troops killed thus far - not to mention the more than 
 650,000 Iraqis estimated to have died). Blank placards will be available 
 for those who wish to write their own messages.\n\nBeginning at 1 p.m., 
 participants will spread out on the sidewalks on both sides of Fourth and 
 Fifth streets from approximately C to N streets to form a living memorial 
 wall honoring the war dead. That means Humboldt's residents need to turn 
 out in sufficient numbers to create a single file line the equivalent of 44 
 blocks long. People are being asked to be in place by 1pm, and to stay in 
 that location in peace vigil until 3pm. "Taps" will be played to mark the 
 beginning and ending times of the vigil.\n\nHoping you can join thousands 
 of your neighbors from across the county this Saturday afternoon. This 
 event happens rain or shine. But the forecast so far looks GREAT!\n\nOh 
 yeah, one more thing.....\n\nTune in tomorrow night to Thursday Night Talk 
 on KHSU at 7:30 pm to learn more about Saturday's vigil - and as always, 
 call in with your questions. 826-4805 or 1-800-640-5911.\n \nKHSU can be 
 found on the radio at 90.5 Arcata/91.9 Crescent City-Brookings/89.1 FM 
 Ferndale-Fortuna/89.7 FM Garberville/99.7 FM Willow Creek and streaming on
