People in Olympia, WA gather for Peace Vigil

Today, hundreds of people gathered at noon to line the 4th street bridge for a vigil to remember the 2000 American soldiers that have been killed in Iraq and to stand for peace.
Each person carried the name of a fallen soldier, reminding us of the loss of life. At the biggest peace demonstration in Olympia in recent months, people lined both sides of the 4th street bridge and the four blocks to Percival Landing. The sun broke through and many people driving across the bridge expressed their support.
