Memorial Vigil and Walk to Natick Army Base

Start: 12:00 pm

March 20 is the 7th Anniversary of our country's invasion of Iraq. On Saturday, March 20, there will be a vigil and march to remember that we still occupy Iraq and Afghanistan, and acknowledge the human toll.

Any one who would like to join this event should gather at the Natick Common Bandstand at 12:00. We will then walk to the Natick Army Base where we will read the names of those from Massachusetts who have lost their lives in these conflicts. We will also remember in silence the Iraqi and Aghanistan civilians, dead and wounded in this long conflict.

This is a peaceful, but clear message to remind all of us that we are at war with no real end in sight.

The Peace Abbey has offered the use of the memorial stone which honors unknown civilians killed in wars for this occasion. If enough people would like to participate we would push the stone on its caisson from the Peace Abbey in Sherborn to the Natick Common.
