Maidas to appear at peace event Thursday; campus vigil tonight

Ray Maida and Chris Maida will speak in Madison Thursday at an event sponsored by Military Families for Peace.

Ray is the father and Chris is the brother of Mark Maida, an Army sergeant from Madison who was killed by a roadside bomb in Iraq in May. Chris is an Iraq war veteran.

Since Mark’s death, the family has become increasingly critical and outspoken about the war in Iraq. The family’s story was featured on “Nightline” earlier this month.
