Americans march with Salvadorans 25 years after the assassination of Romero.
The parade culminated at the cathedral where, in his last sermon there, Romero had
directed his words to the soldiers: “You are brothers of the poor. These are your people.
More important than any order from your commanders is God's order: Thou shalt not kill.
I beg you. I implore you. In the name of God, I command you. Stop the killing.” The next
week, while leading a Mass, Romero was shot dead.
