UPDATE: Iraq Vet marching laps for every dead US soldier in Iraq

MEMORIAL DAY MARCH BY IRAQ VETERAN
Scores, including Casey Sheehan's Dad, greet Iraq Vet
in his quest to walk around Capitol for every CA,
US trooper killed in Iraq, and protest the war

SACRAMENTO (3:41 p.m., Monday) – An Iraq veteran was greeted early this
morning by nearly one hundred fellow veterans, parents of US troops in Iraq
supporters – including the father of Casey Sheehan, who was killed in Iraq
– and other as he began a round-the-clock effort to march around the State
Capitol for all U.S. troopers killed in Iraq.

By about 3:30 p.m., the veteran had completed about 50 half-mile loops
around the building. He expects to cover all 350 California dead by early
Wednesday, marching 24-hours a day. He has promised he will not quit until
exhaustion forces him to quit.

A NEW CONFERENCE to update the news media on the progress will be
held at 9:30 a.m. TUESDAY MORNING on the North Side of the Capitol.

The Iraq War veteran – who insists on remaining anonymous as "only a
representative" of his fallen comrades –  has told supporters he will not
rest until he has finished all the laps, or until he cannot continue. He
plans to march/walk 24-hours a day with only a little food and water to
sustain him. The walk will also mark the deaths of thousands of Iraqi
civilians, he said.
