Some military families and others who oppose the U.S.-led occupation of Iraq are marching through Washington, D.C., to the White House.

Some 60 protesters gathered early Monday at Walter Reed Army Medical Center near Washington, the first stop in the United States for many of the soldiers wounded in Iraq. The demonstrators are now making their way through the capital city in a memorial procession to a park across from the White House.

The event is organized by a group called "Military Families Speak Out", which represents about a thousand military families who want President Bush to withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq. Members of the group criticize Mr. Bush for -as they say - refusing to acknowledge the toll of the Iraq war.

Also Friday, the president is to visit again with wounded troops at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. He made similar visits to the hospital in January, April, September and December of last year.

Thursday, the president is to return to Fort Campbell, Ky., for a speech to military personnel and for lunch with the troops. He visited the base in November 2001, shortly after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
