Friday October 5

Today we marked the eleventh anniversary of the attack on Afghanistan and the start of the vigil. The Afghanistan war began October 7, 2001, so we were two days early, taking advantage of more traffic on Friday. A friend of the vigil had made two new banners -- thanks! About forty people were a presence all along the block in front of the courthouse. Much of the time our wars leave me in sorrow and despair, and I am grateful for the people who stand with us.
