Six months ago you came out to show your disapproval of the US Invasion and Occupation of Iraq and to Remember The Fallen Soldiers and Iraqi Citizens. Today, we are writing to ask you to join us again on September 29th to support Active Duty soldiers from Fort Drum who are members of the only active duty chapter of the Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW).
Since this peace action is being initiated by Active Duty Soldiers, this will be an historic demonstration against the Iraq war. Soldiers everywhere will learn about it. The demonstration will build prestige for the IVAW chapter at Fort Drum, and it exposes as a lie the notion that the peace movement is anti-soldier. It will tell the world that soldiers, too, are against the war.
It is the responsibility of all of us that consider ourselves part of the Peace Movement that we make this rally a success. This may be the most important anti-war rally ever held in Upstate New York, or even the country.
This Peace Rally will be held in Syracuse, the closest large city to Fort Drum, and on any given weekend, there are many soldiers on leave there. Fort Drum has also suffered a larger number of casualties than any other military base in the U.S.
The Glens Falls Peace contingent will leave Rock Hill Bakehouse at 7:30 am Saturday morning September 29. Contact Matt at 361-6278 for details.
