*Winter Soldier: Iraq & Afghanistan*
In 1776, Thomas Paine wrote: "These are the times that try men's souls. The
summer soldier and sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the
service of his country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and
thanks of man and woman."
In 1971, a courageous group of veterans exposed the criminal nature of the
Vietnam War in an event called Winter Soldier. Once again, we will demand
that the voices of veterans are heard.
Once again, we are fighting for the soul of our country. We will demonstrat=
e
our patriotism by speaking out with honor and integrity instead of blindly
following failed policy. Winter Soldier is a difficult but essential servic=
e
to our country.
*Winter Soldier: Iraq and Afghanistan *will feature testimony from U.S.
veterans who served in those occupations, giving an accurate account of wha=
t
is really happening day in and day out, on the ground.
The four-day event will bring together veterans from across the country to
testify about their experiences in Iraq and Afghanistan - and present video
and photographic evidence. In addition, there will be panels of scholars,
veterans, journalists, and other specialists to give context to the
testimony. These panels will cover everything from the history of the GI
resistance movement to the fight for veterans' health benefits and support.
*When: Thursday March 13 to Sunday March 16*
Attendance at Winter Soldier: Iraq & Afghanistan is not open to the general
public because of limited space at the event site. Members of Iraq Veterans
Against the War, Vietnam Veterans Against the War, Military Families Speak
Out, and Gold Star Families Speak Out will attend the panels at Winter
Soldier.
To bring the testimonies to the general public and GIs all over the world w=
e
