IVAW Speak Out at UT Austin November 10
The CAMEOs of UT and Texas State are proud to present:
Iraq Veterans Against the War speak out
Monday, Nov. 10, 7:00 PM
UT Campus, ART 1.110 (http://www.utexas. edu/maps/ main/buildings/ art.html)
Hear first-hand accounts from servicemen whose time in Iraq turned them against the war. Speakers: Michael Nordstrom, a Marine who served two tours in Iraq. Mike has been recalled by the Marine Corps.”In the enlistment oath I swore to defend and protect the Constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic. I’ve been to Iraq twice and I promise you we don’t need to protect the Constitution from them.“ Hart Viges, former U.S. Army airborne infantryman. Hart fought in Fallujah and left the Army as a conscientious objector. “From my time in Iraq I can personally attest to what can happen when a group of highly motivated people work together. We started a violent revolution and overthrew a government. Now we must start a peaceful revolution and change our government.” Greg Foster, Army veteran, antiwar activist and student at Texas State:”Over the last few years I have realized that the most patriotic thing I can do, as a Veteran, is talk to Americans about why the war in Iraq was wrong from the beginning and what we can do to end it.“ Ronn Cantu, SSG, 1st Cavalry, active duty at Ft. Hood:”After two tours in Iraq, the only thing we were ‘fighting’ for was to live for one more day until we came home and it’s been the families of the dead, both American and Iraqi, who have suffered as a result of this nightmare political stunt.“
