Video Montage of the Event
The Universtity of Albany 9-11 Truth group has created a Video Montage of the event starting with the activities of their feeder march. They did a great job of capturing the entire March 18th event and have clips of nearly every speaker, the walk, and activities at the federal buidling. If you missed the collection of the posters at the federal building, you can see it near the end of the video.

Webmaster's Editorial Note: I recognize that there are members of the Peace Activist Community that feel that inclusion of the 9-11 Truth Groups is not productive. I respectfully disagree, for 2 reasons.
First and foremost, it is the events of 9-11 that the Bush Administration and others have used to leverage support for their war activities through the fear of terrorism. I therefore believe that it is of the utmost importance that questions be asked and answered about that fateful day. Nothing is more detrimental to our democracy than citizens being vilified for questioning the activities of their government.
The second reason is that it was my personal investigation into the official conspiracy theory that made me realize that it does not hold up to the laws of physics. Since my formal education was in physical chemistry, this realization was very personally disturbing for me. It was this realization that has inspired me to become the Peace Activist that I am now.
Because the events of 9-11 happened here on U.S. soil, and the subsequent fear they produced, the events of 9-11 became very personal for most us, and as such invoke very strong emotions. It is my belief that what caused this Peace Walk to be so successful is that it too became a very personal and emotional event for the people who participated. Everyone I spoke with made a very personal connection to the Fallen Serviceperson(s) they walked for, even though for the majority of us we had no relationship to those killed before we received their name. I believe all of us will forever remember those we walked in remembrance of on March, 18th 2007.
So to me, the 9-11 Truth Movement and the Peace Movement are really one and the same. If you would like to engage me in a personal conversation about this sometime, I would welcome that. Please contact me through the "Contact Us" link.
PEACE!
