DESCRIPTION:                                 Please share with others.\n\nBring 'Em 
 Home for the Holidays Antiwar Rally\n\nFriday, August 17, 7:00 pm in Union 
 Square, San Francisco\n\n\nThe San Francisco Coordinating Council of 
 MoveOn.org will host an anti-war rally showing support for the US troops in 
 Iraq and calling for their safe return home by December at a "Home for the 
 Holidays" rally in Union Square on Friday, August 17 at 7:00 p.m. Rally 
 organizers will also release a hard-hitting report to local media detailing 
 what the war has cost our congressional district in health care and 
 education costs. \n\nAt sunset the tree will light up with star-shaped 
 photo ornaments honoring California soldiers currently serving in Iraq. 
 Some of the soldiers' photos have been sent in for the occasion by their 
 families and loved ones who are demanding an end to the U.S. presence in 
 Iraq. Participants, including vets and families of vets, will place the 
 ornaments, say a few words in tribute, then light the tree and a giant 
 menorah and sing carols calling for peace. Oversized, present-like boxes 
 with dollar sums noted in bold type will be positioned under the tree to 
 call attention to the health care and educational benefits our district has 
 sacrificed in order to fund the war to date. \n\nEvent URL: .  Use this URL

 California veterans, families of veterans and families of service people 
 currently serving in the war on Iraq:\n \nWe invite you to participate in a 
 peaceful, “Bring Them Home for the Holidays” rally to end the war on 
 Friday, August 17 at 7:00 p.m. in San Francisco’s Union Square.

 will honor California soldiers currently serving in the military.   \n 
 \nParticipants at this event, including vets and families of vets, will 
 place star-shaped ornaments with photos of our servicemen and servicewomen 
 on a “Christmas” tree, say a few words in tribute, then light the tree 
 and a giant Menorah and sing carols calling for peace.\n \nThere are a 
 number of ways you can participate in support of your loved one currently 
 serving in Iraq or elsewhere:\n \n1)      Send us a photo of your family 
 member currently serving in the war and we will place it in the center of a 
 star-shaped ornament to be hung on the tree as part of our ceremony August 
 17.  Please include your loved one’s name, rank and service location 
 along with your contact number and email.\n \n2)      Attend the August 17

 risks and sacrifices of this war.   That’s why your participation is key 
 in our peaceful efforts to persuade our government to end the war.  I hope
