Saturday, October 8, 10am-2pm The war in Afghanistan is now the longest war in U.S. history, yet for many of us it has been rendered largely invisible. October 7 marks 10 years since the U.S. invasion of this country. Windows and Mirrors helps us reflect on the impact of the war on the civilians - children, women and men - caught in the crossfire. "We are present in every shot fired, every missle launched, and every bomb dropped. But this is not our only option. We also can be present in acts of diplomacy and reconciliation, community reconstruction and peaceful partnership. The choice is ours." (American Friends Service Committee) The exhibit, collected by American Friends Service Committee and hosted locally by MVPJ, will be divided between several venues for viewing until October 6. Read further to find out where! All 25 panels will be displayed on Saturday October 8 at Palo Alto City Hall King Plaza, 10am-2pm. There will be a simple service with prayers and songs for peace at 12Noon.
