Some ideas for local events

1) Delegations to Congressional Representatives – with the participants and local representatives Delegation to the District Offices of your congressional representatives to ask them:

* What is the noble cause our loved ones fight and die for?
* What are they doing to end the war?
* How many more lives are they willing to sacrifice?


2) Symbolic Encampments – with tents, signs and food in a public space like your city park, a University Commons or the lawn of a church.

3) Memorial Vigils – we hope to create memorials along the way with photos of the Gold Star familiy members who have died along with photos of those who have died in your community, flowers, candles, boots and crosses.

4) Interfaith Services.

5) Meet and Greet Luncheon or Dinner with Gold Star families, military families and veterans from the Bus tour and your community.

6) Rallies or Educational events at local churches, universities, community centers.

7) Meetings with Editorial Boards.

8) Caravans with the Tour to the next city or beyond. People have asked if they can join the Bus Tour. We have limited space in the main vehicles, but cars, vans, buses that you all organize are welcome to come along! The more self-sufficient you can be the better, if we begin to gather many vehicles the cities ahead will need to prepare for more support including camp ground
