Peace Vigil 8/2/06
Every Wednesday evening from 6:30 to 7:30 across from the Beaverton, Oregon, public library.
Danni with our sign from Ft. Lewis vigil.
Singing Songs...
and carrying signs...
Peace Mongers!!!
My son... watching and waiting for honks.
My daughter patiently sits with her sign...
Last week we received an email stating that there were 57 in attendance along with two profiles of sign holders. I'll try to include that information in later photojournals.
Hopefully people can see that it's just "We The People" out there as well as see how the vigils change throughout the year, the seasons and with media events.
Right now it's summertime, a firetruck rolled past us and honked, an old man drove by and flipped us off...
It'll be different in the rain. The heat. The ice. It's always different. When the sun crawls down earlier... you'll see the candles.

I found out that my hockey friend heard on some radio.. Here, I'l paste..
My actual nickname is Azul... "Azul, I listened to the Beaverton peace vigil report this morning and he mentioned someone from Code Pink and some kids were there yesterday. Zat you? I was going to try to attend in two weeks on their 1-year anniversary."
Kinda cool! I sent the organizers the link to MLW where the diary was. Who knows what'll happen next week.

Just received this from the WA CO Peace Vigil e-list.....
66 Patriots stood for peace at our weekly vigil last week. Our momentum is building and we are getting more and more support for those passing by. We even had a fire truck come by honking and the fire fighters waved enthusiastically! We continue...
