Families of the 94th declare war on the Bush Administration
__Families of the 94th Declare War on the Bush Administration

NH Union Leader: "Military families threatened to wage a war of their own last night, as sadness turned to sharp anger at the Bush administration for keeping their loved ones in Iraq. It was another monthly meeting for relatives of reservists in the Londonderry-based 94th Military Police Company of the U.S. Army Reserve, but this one was unlike any other before it. Two days after learning their loved ones would not be leaving the Middle East as expected Sunday, the families said they're ready to launch a political fight. 'God forbid, if one soldier dies, there will be no end to anything any one of our members can do,' said Gerri Whittredge. 'I will be in Washington, D.C., at Mr. Bush's door, shoving his words down his throat.' Others said she would not be alone. 'We want the whole country to hear our story,' said Franklin resident Richard MacDonald, whose son, Adam MacDonald, 23, is a specialist in the company."

2. It is not the military taking the stand
it is the families... and WE must stand side by side with them
