They'll be accompanied by taps and a mock 21-gun salute.
Organizers say they hope the event will spur people in the antiwar movement toward civil disobedience.
The ANSWER Coalition expects tens of thousands of participants.

Two counter protest groups, the Gathering of Eagles, made up of Vietnam Veterans, and the D.C. chapter of the conservative group Free Republic plan to rally and line the protest route.
