Highland Park, March 19: As part of MoveOn’s call for protest on the five-year anniversary of America’s invasion of Iraq, about 45 people stood at the Veteran’s Memorial at York and Figueroa. The vigilers included a veteran, who suggested to another participant that they turn their U.S. flag upside down. The veteran also spoke of the lack of support for vets by the government. The ages of the demonstrators ranged from young children to elders. There was widespread enthusiastic response from motorists.
