Michael Berg
(father of Nicholas)

Fayetteville, NC

Michael Berg is the father of Nicholas (Nick) Berg who was reportedly beheaded in May 2004 by militants who claimed that his death was carried out to avenge abuses of Iraqi prisoners by U.S. soldiers at Abu Ghraib prison. If there is one person who would be expected to support our "war on terrorism" in Iraq, it would be Michael Berg. But, instead, he has tirelessly attended rallies and demonstrations throughout the country (and overseas) promoting peace. In a message to an anti-occupation demonstration in London, he asked the many people who offered to pray for Nick and his family to ... "include in their prayers a prayer for peace. And I ask them to do more than pray. I ask them to demand peace now..."
