Education for Justice resources to mark the anniversary of the Iraq War:
- Suggestions for Marking the Anniversary of the War in Iraq: This one-page resource contains a list of numerous ways you can observe and mark the Anniversary of the start of the war in Iraq. It combines suggestions ranging from prayer and reflection, to advocacy, to outreach to military families and the returning wounded. This resource makes a good bulletin or newsletter insert and the ideas suggested have a much longer life than simply the anniversary date itself.
