Shining light on a sensitive topic: chapel hosts candlelight vigil for interpersonal violence victims

A participant attending a candlelight vigil writes down the name belonging to a victim of interpersonal violence at Ramstein Air Base, Germany, Oct. 27, 2016. Those who took part in the vigil put the names they’d written into a glass jar and then lit their candle they were given by one of the four differently-marked candles surrounding the jar. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, over the course of a year, more than 10 million U.S. citizens are victims of domestic violence, sexual abuse, child violence and bullying or suicide. The devastating physical, emotional, and psychological consequences of interpersonal violence can cross generations and last lifetimes. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Lane T. Plummer)
