LOS ANGELES, March 18, 2006 – The 241 mile march for peace stopped in MacArthur Park this Saturday to pay the respects to the Eye’s Wide Open exhibit set up in the park. The American Friends Service Committee installed a display of 240 pairs of combat boots, each pair representing soldiers from California that have died in Iraq. Also in the display were children’s shoes for the Iraqi civilians that have lost their lives as well.
