1,000 Coffins.org

Actually saw this story linked to a Moonie Times article via AntiWar.com. Really wish I knew about this - looks really cool.

Found the picture below at The Korea Herald website:



The Iraq War Memorial Coalition and 1,000 Coffins.org host a tribute to military personnel who have lost their lives in the Iraq war at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. The tribute featured a flag-draped coffin for each of the more than 1,100 American servicemen and women killed to date in the invasion and occupation of Iraq. [Reuters-Yonhap]

The Iraq War Memorial Coalition doesn't appear to be a formal organization, but rather a loose affiliation of anti-war and/or anti-Iraq War organizations. More information about this demonstration/protest just held in DC can be found at 1,000 Coffins.org. The first appearance was at the memorable RNC protests in NYC.

Military Families Speak Out and Veterans for Peace are the two groups responsible for setting up the events.
