The Oklahoma Peace House and OCU Oikos Scholars are inviting people to attend a March For Peace at 11 a.m. March 20.

The march, which will form at the corner of NW 23rd Street and Blackwelder, will mark the seven-year anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq. There will be speakers, drumming and music.

In general, many in the right-wing continue to distort the gruesome military occupation, calling it a victory. Yet thousands of American and coalition soldiers have been killed and wounded. The occupation has also resulted in the deaths of thousands of innocent civilians. The occupation, begun by former President George Bush, in on track to cost at least a trillion dollars.

Let’s take some time to celebrate the idea of peace during a violent period in our country’s history.
