My name is Marshall Thompson and I finished a 500-mile walk for peace through Utah, the reddest state in the nation. I was always opposed to the war, but after I served a one-year tour of duty with the Army in Iraq, I felt even more responsible for the problem. On Oct. 2, 2006 I started to walk through my home state from the Idaho border to the Arizona border. I walked 27 days, one day for every 100 U.S. troops who have died in Iraq. Unfortunately, the number exceeded 2,800 in October (Now, the number is up to nearly 4,000 soldiers). I’ve decided now that I’ll spend the 28th day in Washington D.C. meeting with the Utah delegates to discuss troop withdrawal. I don’t know how much good it will do. I don’t even know if they’ll see me, but I have to do something.
