"This week, the number of American soldiers lost while serving in Iraq reached over 2000. While thousands of families have made the ultimate sacrifice, thousands more send their children and loved ones off to a war that seems to have no end in sight," according to Move-on.org.

"Today, Wednesday, October 26, 2005 at 6:30 p.m. we gathered at vigils to remember and honor our fallen soldiers and ask, 'How many more?'"

"Thousands of us will solemnly gather together and acknowledge the sacrifices made by over 2000 American men and women in Iraq and their families and speak out against the war."

According to Tom Hughes, Executive Director, Democracy for America, a co-sponsor, "These vigils aren't rallies or places to give long-winded speeches. They are moments to solemnly come together and mark the sacrifice of those who have died and their families.

"If you can't join a vigil in your community, then please join the 'Honor the Fallen' campaign and write a letter to the editor to your local newspaper asking them to place all casualty reports on the front page. With this one small action, we can continue to honor the fallen and remind the public of the dangers that our troops face everyday.
