I wanted to let everyone know about Nancy Hiss' work, the Iraq Names Project.

You have likely seen it somewhere around town. On memorial day, in front of the Federal Building downtown, she started drawing the names of soldiers who had died in Iraq. They are drawn in chalk on the sidewalk. She has drawn almost everyday since. She has now drawn over 2,000 names covering 6 miles.

She is now on Alberta at about 15th. Weekday mornings she chalks from 7:15 - 8:15. On the Weekends from 11:00am - 5:00pm.

Last Thursday she will turn out to chalk. Not sure exact times, 6-7 maybe?

If you would like to help chalk just stop by and say hello.
