YAL members at Kansas State University spoke out against the war by using flags to reveal the cost of the war to the students at KSU. The flags, each one representing a dead American soldier, were on display the week from Monday to Thursday. YAL worked with many other groups within the city of Manhattan, on the K-State campus, and with the YAL chapter at Kansas University. The Manhattan Alliance for Peace and Justice provided the flags and worked with us on this event. On campus, we worked with the Ambassadors for Peace Club, Amnesty International and the Students for Environmental Action.
The groups all worked together, despite other ideological differences, to fight back against warmongering and to point out the human cost of these unconstitutional wars.
The event was covered by the Kansas State Collegian.
There were a lot of great stories from the event. Multiple veterans thanked us for putting on the event. One woman told us how her husband committed suicide due to PTSD. She was very thankful for us putting on this event. One student took the flag of a cousin of his who died overseas and said this was a wonderful event. Overall, it was a great success!

It's painful to see those colorful flags. If only, there were no more wars and the resources spent on wars were spent on good causes, this world will be the most beautiful and peaceful place. Stock market
Money for war is just wasted money but above some kids are wasting their life.

This is really disappointing to see so many flags on the picture. But it´s a good initiative against the war and to to let poeple know how many american soldiers died. Irena from web hosting reviews

War has badly effected almost every thing. I don't understand that why the US is so much interested in war.

Involving the students in these activities can destory their education. Its good that student take action revolution but apart of this, if you are involving student in any political activity, it means you are destroying their carrer and the career of your counter as well.
I like a lot what you write. Great job!
