Dear Editor: Friday, March 19, will mark the seventh anniversary of the â??shock and aweâ? bombing campaign that began the U.S. invasion of Iraq. Each year since 2003, Americans have gathered to remember the terrible costs of war and to call for peace. Wisconsin has led states many times its size in the number of events held on the anniversary.
This year is no exception. Nineteen Wisconsin events are among more than 70 planned nationwide, and include roadside vigils, marches, public prayers and a teach-in at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
