DESCRIPTION:http://ivawsf.org/ivawsf-signifies-the-last-anniversary-of-the-iraq-war/#more-606\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 Monday, 
 March 19, 2012 on the plaza in front of San Francisco City Hall from 9am to 
 5pm.\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 the Iraq war, 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
