On October 7, 2012, a vigil was held at Vietnam Veterans Memorial Plaza in lower Manhattan that included a program of music and speakers, including Vietnam veteran Bishop George Packard, Pulitzer Prize-winning war correspondent Chris Hedges and Iraq combat veteran Jenny Pacanowski. At 8:30, the protesters began reading the names of the New York soldiers killed in Vietnam who are commemorated at the plaza and the military dead in Afghanistan and Iraq. Several were arrested while honoring their fallen brothers and sisters.
