Over 75 individuals participated in a vigil held Wednesday October 26 in Fredonia's Barker Common to honor and commemorate the 2000 American military deaths in Iraq.  The gathering began at the Gazebo.  Those present then went with candles in hand to the four corners of the town's main intersection, where the names of the dead were read.  After the reading of the names, the group reconvened at the Gazebo and heard final remarks and a prayer for peace.
