from my email....

Joining other peace groups to memorialized the 3,000 deaths, Veterans For Peace will hold a candlelight vigil in Balboa Park, across from Balboa Navy Hospital. The vigil starts at 4PM New Years day, January 1. We ask that you bring a few candles and Dixie cups, a lighter, a jacket, and as many friends as you can muster. Veterans For Peace will have 30 lighted crosses, one for every hundred war dead in Iraq, and we ask that you to help us read the names of those killed. Please join us on this candlelight vigil.
