Not much to say: 3000 American soldiers have died. Candlelight vigils across the country tonight; here's some photos from Iowa City (links are to bigger versions)
The Old Capitol flag at half mast, though for other reasons, just makes the occasion seem that much more somber. (This photo is worth looking at the big version.)
No chanting, no yelling, just quiet music and a simple message.
The instinct to huddle together for warmth took precedence over the need to spread out and look bigger.
The view from across the street; I counted about 65 people at the height of the event. Two TV crews and an unidentified print reporter were there.
He's not just a statistic: Specialist Dustin R. Donica of Spring, TX.
