Since George Bush hasn't honored the fallen in Iraq, MoveOn decided to organize some events. Soldiers give a lot for what they ask, and it shouldn't be too much to ask for a little acknowledgement of their sacrifice. Nor should it be too much for the families of the fallen to feel the loss was appreciated.
If you would like to attend or host an event in your area, then check here:
Supporting the troops
If you don't wish to attend anything so formal, simply burn a candle in the window tonight at 8pm. Let's show the troops they are more than a backdrop for a photo opportunity as they have sacrificed 1000 lives in Iraq.
I also suggest performing an action to help visualize the loss. For instance place a penny in a jar for every lost soldier and watch them accumulate. Better yet might be a thousand drops of oil, or a thousand points of light.
