An Iraq veteran was greeted early on the morning of May 28th 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.

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.
