 Eyes Wide Open: The Last Time\nPosted on March 18, 2012 by 
 janicetongsf\n\nMonday, March 19, 2012\n9am to 5pm\nSan Francisco City 
 Hall\n\nMembers of Iraq Veterans Against the War and their allies will be 
 laying out “Eyes Wide Open,” the American Friends Service Committee’s 
 widely acclaimed exhibit on the human costs of war, for the last 
 time.\n\nThe event will be an observance of the ninth year since the US 
 invasion of Iraq. The exhibit includes combat boots representing the 481 
 Californians who died in Iraq, along with civilian shoes to represent the 
 thousands upon thousands of Iraqi civilians that lost their lives. The 
 exhibit will be up for one day only and will be permanently retired Monday 
 evening.\n\n“It is our duty to make sure that the larger public both 
 remembers the costs already incurred and is aware of struggles that 
 continue,” said Dottie Guy, a member of IVAW. “Hundreds of thousands of 
 service members and veterans will be coming home carrying deep moral, 
 mental and physical injuries incurred in the war. How are they going to 
 heal? Right now a service member is committing suicide every 36 hours. The 
 war is not over for us; it is just inside us now.”\n\nThe veterans and 
 civilian supporters of IVAW have requested that the public join them on 
 City Hall plaza at noon on Monday where a press conference will be held. 
 The press conference will include a reading of names of those who have lost 
 their lives in the war and speakers to include Guy, Scott Olsen from IVAW, 
 Ryan Holleran; an active duty soldier from Fort Hood, and Marilyn Saner 
 from Military Families Speak Out among others.\n\nContacts:\nDottie Guy,
