Please join Veterans for Peace, Iraq Veterans Against the War, Gold Star Families for Peace, and Military Families Speak Out for a ceremony for peace on Memorial Day, to remember and mourn those who died -- but also to say that we want no more dead in senseless, immoral wars and occupations for oil and American Empire. Instead of glorifying war, we strive for peace.

Last year, people felt that this was a very meaningful event. We will have some speeches, read names of Massachusetts people killed in Iraq and Afghanistan, and honor all civilian victims of war as we say NO MORE WAR.

We would like to make this an even bigger event than last year. Please consider coming, and forward this on to your mailing lists and friends. The flyer is attached and is also located at: http://smedleyvfp.org/page15/files/memorial%20day%20flyer.pdf
