The "Eyes Wide Open" National Guard memorial focuses on the cost of the Iraq war to our citizen soldiers, to Iraqi civilians, and to our nation. The exhibit consists of hundreds of combat boots and civilian shoes, each bearing the name of a National Guard member or an Iraqi man, woman, or child who has died in the conflict.I saw this last summer in Iowa City and it was very moving. It really put the conflict in Iraq into perspective.
Women For Peace Iowa is helping with this event, which will be held in downtown Cedar Rapids on the busiest day of the Freedom Festival. The location is directly across from the barbecue contest, and should get a lot of foot traffic.
When: Saturday, June 24
When: 9am - 7pm
Where: 8th Avenue and 1st Street SE, Cedar Rapids
Chet Culver will also be at the Linn Co. Democratic Headquarters at 11:45. The Linn Co. Democratic Headquarters is located at 601 2nd Avenue SE, Cedar Rapids.

Thanks for advertising this event.
No prob. I was really hoping to make it to the event, but something came up and it looks like I won't be able to get away.
