Reclaim Armistice Day--CALL FOR AN END OF WAR:
Start: 10:50 am
End: 11:50 am

The Columbia Peace Coalition is having a peace gathering this Friday, Nov. 11 outside the military recruiters' offices at E. Broadway and Second St. for a "Time for an Armistice" Peace Gathering. We will assemble at 10:50 a.m. for a short event that will begin promptly at 11 a.m.

The purpose of this gathering is two-fold: first, to reclaim what is now called Veterans Day, by going to its roots as Armistice Day, a holiday to celebrate the end of the "war to end all wars," and second, in the spirit of Armistice Day, to call for an end to the current Iraq War, while announcing the completion of our End the Iraq War petition drive, with nearly 8,000 area residents signing in support of bringing our troops home NOW.
