War protesters in Westport read the names of the more than 3,000 American troops who have been killed in the war in Iraq.Protesters started lining up signs more than a year and a half ago on both sides of this bridge overlooking the Saugatuck River. On Saturday, more than two-dozen protesters armed with new signs say they support the troops, not the war. They say they could go to a booth and vote silently, or write letters without a response, but protesting is the only noticeable thing they can do to get anyone?s attention.Several members of the Westport group, including the World War I veteran Larry Assan say they are anticipating President Bush's new war strategy. They say there's no better way to bring the troops home than to support them.
