Vigil at Military Recruiting Center in Honor of Father's Day

On June 19th, a vigil in honor of Father's Day was held in front of the Military Recruiting Center on 41st Avenue in Capitola calling for an end to war in Iraq and in Afghanistan. Demonstrators held signs and banners to "Shut Down the War Machine", "Bring Our Fathers Home" and "Fund Peoples' Needs! Not War & Bank Bailouts". Neither the Army, Navy, Air Force, or Marines were open for business during the demonstration. Advocates for peace stuffed flowers and literature into the door jams of all four recruiting offices.
