Atlanta WAND reads off names of deceased Iraq War veterans

These folks from Atlanta WAND have been out every week for years in front of Colony Square in Midtown Atlanta protesting the Iraq War. I really admire their tenacity.
Usually they just stand there quietly with posters and try to get people to honk, but they stepped up their game this morning. They had a microphone, a drum and a huge scroll containing names of deceased Iraq War veterans. They read off a name, then beat the drum once for each name. It gave me a little chill.
In addition to the picture above, I captured about 30 seconds of audio using Recorder on my iPhone, which you can listen to below:
