  1. Walter Reed Vigil
    • Washington, DC.
    • 7:00pm

    Every Friday night, on Georgia Avenue between Elder and Dahlia Streets, right in front of the main hospital. The Walter Reed Vigil began in April 2005 when it was discovered that the wounded from Iraq were being brought into the hospital grounds in the dead of night. Our vigil, is composed of people from peace groups, labor, religious groups, and unaffiliated individuals, including veterans from prior wars. We have had participants come from all over the US, Europe, and Japan. The best support for our troops is to bring them home now, give them the best care for all wounds including PTSD for as long as necessary, and give them the full benefits they were promised.
