Established

A DEMONSTRATION RECALLING the fifth anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001, when terrorists attacked the United States and killed some 3,000 persons, was held Monday afternoon, 9-11, at the southeast corner of Redwood Hwy. and Lister Street. Meanwhile, directly across the street, in front of the Josephine County Bldg., Women in Black and Friends conducted their weekly silent vigil standing for peace.

Many persons driving by honked and waved at the dual demonstrations, most of them directing their attention to those honoring the memory of 9-11. A spokesman for those memorializing the 9-11 disaster said it was a protest to his perception that the other group decries the U.S. action in Iraq and to show ‘the other side of better Muslim than dead, when their life mission is to kill us.’ A spokesman for the peace demonstrators said that at least one of the other group was invited to stand with them, but did not. ‘We have been standing for peace for several years,’ the spokesman noted.
