This week is a week of mourning for the many who have died to date in the
Iraq war. Below are the details of several events in the Seattle area.

****************PLEASE FORWARD********************
Over 1,000 American servicemen and servicewomen have been
killed as a result of our nation's attack on Iraq. Another
7,000 young Americans have been wounded, and as many as

troops safely home, more young men and women will have
their lives ended in this tragic folly.
