Extremely Important Message About Our Veterans
Posted: 25 Oct 2005 05:53 PM
Hello Friends
This is a message that I just received that I feel is so important that I am placing this post on all of the forums that I am a member of. I don't know what your feelings are about our so called war in Iraq but personally I believe this is an unjustified war and our soldiers are being led into this death trap based on the lies and deception tactics of our present administration. If you believe the same way I believe, please forward this message to everyone you can forward it too. Thank You
Most Sincerly, William Vanderbilt
P.S.
I am a veteran, honorably discharged from service in the United States Air Force on Dec 24, 1974 and I believe that this war is
even more unjustified than the Viet Nam War
where nearly 70,000 U.S.Soldiers lost their lives. I ask you to please support this cause while our death toll is only at 2,000
Dear william,
The sad day has come. Today, the 2000th U.S. service member was reported killed in Iraq. We do not yet know his or her name, but we grieve this death and all the service members and civilians killed in this war.
Tomorrow — Wednesday, October 26 — will be the day that we are asking people across the country will join together in “Not One More Death, Not One More Dollar” events. Tomorrow, thousands of us will gather to remember the U.S. dead and as many as 100,000 Iraqis who have died as a result of this war.
Join us to say that the war must end, the troops must come home, U.S. bases in Iraq must be closed, and we must redirect our resources to rebuild Iraq and hurricane shattered communities in the U.S. There will be candlelight vigils, direct action, and memorial services in more than 400 communities across the U.S.
