For the last six years the peace vigil at the Potsdam Post Office was a regular Saturday event.
(01/26/09) A long streak is over in Potsdam. For six years, since before the Iraq war began, peace activists have held a weekly vigil in front of the village post office. On Saturday, they gathered one last time. The group is going on "hiatus" to give President Obama a chance to fulfill his campaign promise to bring the troops home from Iraq. David Sommerstein reports.
