Statement for peace in Iraq on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.

From May 11-14, the American Friends Service Committee will join with military families, veterans, Iraq war survivors, and peace supporters for “Silence of the Dead, Voices of the Living,” a four-day event that calls on Congress to bring our troops home now.

Anchoring this event is the AFSC’s widely acclaimed traveling exhibition: Eyes Wide Open: The Human Cost of War. Eyes Wide Open features a pair of combat boots for each U.S. military casualty in Iraq and a dramatic new memorial to the Iraqis who have died in the war
