I think a vigil remembering the deceased soldiers that also showed their families and all of the other soldiers how much we appreciate the sacrafices they make for our country would be much more appropriate.

I agree that turning this into an anti-Bush political rally would be abhorrent. However, I think there's another issue here.
Someone told me that years ago, the Prussian king had to ride out into the field after every war and look at the faces of the dead. We're not comfortable with this. Al-Jazeera's Baghdad office gets shut down for showing disturbing images, and there's a flap when coffins of returning soldiers are photographed. In the movie "Control Room," someone says, "Every war has a human cost." We should never forget this.
