2000th Fallen Soldier Vigil

CNN today announced the sad news that the 2000th soldier has been killed in Iraq. This war has hurt our national security, widowed spouses, fractured families, and still there is no end in sight.

Although Knoxville's own 278th soldiers are coming back to east Tennessee, there are still tens of thousands of American troops in-country with no plan to bring them home. We want to publicly honor their bravery and service and to remind the nation that we need to see an end to this war.

I am asking you to join me and thousands of other Americans nationwide tomorrow in a vigil to ask, "How many more?" The vigil will take no more than an hour, and will be quiet and respectful. Many of you joined me at the Cindy Sheehan vigil and again at the West Town Mall rally. We mustn't let these Americans be forgotten.
