Trail of Mourning and Truth
by Mike Johnson

16 Mar 2004

The Dover to DC Memorial Procession took place march 14-15, began at Dover Air Force Base, where the remains of servicepeople killed in Iraq return to the US, and continued the next day at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in DC, where many of the wounded recuperate. The procession then marched to the White House to deliver the names of the victims of the Iraq war to President Bush, the man responsible for all these deaths.

March 14, Dover Air Force Base, DE and March 15, Washington, DC

Over the course of two days, families of servicepeople killed in Iraq, veterans who have returned from combat in Iraq, and peace activists drew attention to the Bush administration's refusal to acknowledge the human cost of the war and occupation in Iraq. By naming the dead on both sides, and attempting to deliver these names to the White House, the organizers and participants hope to force the nation and the Bush administration to recognize that the people dying in Iraq are more than just numbers, but human beings with family and friends that love them and depend on them.

at Dover Air Force Base, where the bodies of OUR dead troops arrive secretly, unacknowledged by bush*....



at Walter Reed Hospital in DC....







at the White House, to chants of, "Honor the Dead, End the War!" At the open end of the sidewalk, the marchers were met by uniformed Secret Service officers, who bloked the way and refused to allow the procession to deliver the names and the coffin to the White House.

The resisters included several parents of servicepeople serving in Iraq currently and activists of all ages. After an hour, the resisters addressed the officers denying them access to the White House, pleading with them for one more chance to take the names of the dead to the man responsible for their deaths.
