Saturday, February 21, 2009, marked four years the vigil for peace at 52nd Avenue and Wadsworth Boulevard in Arvada, Colorado, has taken place. Meeting every Saturday from noon until 1:00 P.M., patriotic citizens have gathered to protest the unprovoked, illegal U.S. attack, invasion and occupation of Iraq.
All participants expressed the hope and prayer that there will not be the need to return for a fifth such commemoration. All people of goodwill are heartily invited to join Colorado Citizens for peace every Saturday.
During the course of the hour, approximately sixty people attended the street corner anniversary vigil. About thirty participants met afterwards at the Lone Star restaurant to hear music and listen to a guest speaker discuss the present situation in Iraq and the Middle East.
As many as 60 people lined Wadsworth Blvd. to promote peace
and an end to the U.S. occupation of Iraq.
Gathering at the Lone Star for camaraderie and refreshment.
