On Feb 12, abobut 75 Methodist Women from
throughout Puerto Rico came to the island of Vieques to learn about the effects of six decades of
US Navy bombing on the island. The women met with island women, then traveled to the
entrance to Camp Garcia, part of the Navy facilities on the island, where they prayed for peace
and fastened white ribbons, a sign of peace, to the camp's main gate.
