\r\n10 March 2004\r\n<\/p>\r\n Temecula Night of Remembrance Reflects on a Year of War\r\n\r\nTemecula, Calif. -- The members of Peace Works! in Temecula Valley will\r\ngather on Saturday, March 20, 2004, at the Temecula Duck Pond Park to \r\nmark the anniversary of the start of the Iraq War. This special Night \r\nof Remembrance begins at dusk, 6:00 p.m., and will feature reflections \r\non the human cost of war as well as hope for a world of peace.\r\n\r\n

\r\nFriends and neighbors from Temecula, Murrieta, Wildomar, Lake Elsinore,\r\nand beyond are invited to join us for this candlelight event beside the\r\n9\/11 commemoration statue at Duck Pond Park. Bring a small candle or \r\nother light source, but leave the signs and banners at home, organizers\r\nsay.\r\n<\/p>\r\n

\r\n\"This is not a protest or a political rally,\" says Peace Works! \r\norganizer Kynn Bartlett. \"We may be angry or frustrated by the\r\nsituation, but this is a night to mourn. The cost of war has been \r\npaid in blood, by the people of Iraq and by the men and women of \r\nthe United States military -- including some from our community.\"\r\n<\/p>\r\n

\r\nPeace activists around the world have designated March 20 as a day of \r\naction, with protests planned in Los Angeles, New York, London, San \r\nFrancisco, Rome, Chicago, and elsewhere. Local peace activists in \r\nRiverside are riding to Los Angeles together in a bus chartered by \r\nRiverside Area Peace and Justice Action (www.rapja.org).\r\n<\/p>\r\n

\r\n\"We're supportive of the rallies around the world,\" Bartlett said. \r\n\"However, that's not necessarily what our community here in the \r\nTemecula Valley is really about. What plays in San Francisco won't \r\nplay in Temecula. That's why we chose a reflective candlelight vigil \r\nfor our commemoration.\"\r\n<\/p>\r\n

\r\nPeace Works! in Temecula Valley is a local affiliate of the Fellowship \r\nof Reconciliation, an international, interfaith organization dedicated \r\nto non-violence.
