Iraq Vets protest of the war. Who's in?




The organizers are the Iraq Veterans Against War (IVAW). The specific Syracuse group of soldiers organizing this rally include many who are currently ACTIVE DUTY. These men and women are literally still in uniform and are protesting the war. They are making a valiant stand that has literally not been made since the Vietnam era. Their bravery and principle needs to be met with the ardent
support of those who wish to end this and all wars.

Please join your friends from the Glens Falls and Saratoga Peace groups and vigils as we make our way across the state to let these soldiers know that we are with them.

4. Would those be soldiers stationed at Fort Drum up in Watertown?

Those guys have been back and forth so often to Iraq they should be getting frequent flyer miles!
