Fort Benning, Georgia is the site of what has become an annual vigil demanding the closure of the School of the Americas. The School is where the U.S. military trains Latin American combat soldiers, who have been implicated in torture and murder in their home countries. SOA graduates led the recent military coup in Honduras. Thousands of people converged on Fort Benning November 21-22 carrying crosses bearing the names of victims of SOA graduates. They left many of the crosses on the fence surrounding the army base.
