from the CodePink website:

DID YOU KNOW? The United States Congress officially recognized the end of World War I when it passed a concurrent resolution on June 4, 1926, with these words:

Whereas the 11th of November 1918, marked the cessation of the most destructive, sanguinary, and far reaching war in human annals and the resumption by the people of the United States of peaceful relations with other nations, which we hope may never again be severed, and

Whereas it is fitting that the recurring anniversary of this date should be commemorated with thanksgiving and prayer and exercises designed to perpetuate peace through good will and mutual understanding between nations;

Observe the true meaning of Veterans Day and take action to speak out against the war!

Arlington West - will be presented in Encinitas at Moonlight Beach on Nov. 11 (Friday).

We do this to honor the 2,040 plus veterans who have been killed in the Bush War in Iraq. The President has yet to honor one single war casualty by attending his funeral. This is our feeble, but sincere desire to honor the great sacrifice of these veterans.

Volunteers to set up the crosses and candles and equipment are invited to pitch in and help starting at 12:00 noon. Take Encinitas Blvd west to the ocean.

Arlington West is sponsored by the San Diego Veterans for Peace, co-sponsored by North County Coalition for Peace and Justice.
