Anti-War Activists Rally in Fort Wayne and Several Other Indiana Cities to Mark Iraq Anniversary

By Peter Ambrose

MUNCIE, Ind. (AP) - About 30 people turned out for a candlelight vigil outside Muncie City Hall marking the five-year anniversary of the start of the Iraq war.

The event was one of several organized by the political action group MoveOn.org. Other events were scheduled for Bloomington,
Indianapolis, Greencastle, Nashville and Crawfordsville.

Army veteran Debbie Lysek told the Muncie crowd they were there
to honor the troops and call for an end to the war.

An organizer, Jennifer Rice-Snow, said she was pleased with the
turnout in the chilly weather.

Several anti-war activits also held a peace vigil on the Courthouse Green in downtown Fort Wayne yesterday.
