Speakers/Panelists:
* ** Tim Goodrich and other vets from Iraq Veterans Against War speak
about their personal experiences in Iraq. Why they volunteered or
joined the reserves, what they saw and did, and why they are now
opposed to an open-ended occupation of Iraq and want to bring their
fellow soldiers home.
*** Vickie Castro and Jane Bright, with the Gold Star Families for
Peace, an organization made up of parents who have lost their children
in this war.
*** Peggy Fontenot and James Johnson, from America's Veterans, will
speak about the plight of all our veterans, regardless of war or
political stance, especially in obtaining adequate health services and
government support under the Bush administration.
*** Harvey Glen is a Vietnam War veteran. He will speak about his
war experience and how it affected his life, and his concern for what
is in store for a new generation sent off to battle under questionable
motives and ever-changing rationales.
