Northwest Winter Soldier

May 31, 2008 at 12:00pm

Seattle Town Hall

In 1971 Vets from the Vietnam War, organized by Vietnam Veterans
Against the War, came together to provide testimony about the horrific
events that occurred during the War. Many spoke about the killing
innocent civilians, rape, and torture that they had witnessed and taken
part in.

Last month Iraq Veterans Against the War held a similar event in Washington D.C.

IVAW Seattle Chapter 8 will be holding a regional Winter Soldier
at Seattle's Town Hall on May 31st. The event will be followed by a
march to the Federal Building. Our intent is to fill Town Hall to
capacity then to own the streets of Seattle.

While Winter Soldier in Washington D.C. was powerful and moving
to all that witnessed it and it was well covered by media from around
the world, it was not covered by major media in the United States. We
want this to be different. We need to make enough noise on the streets
of Seattle that the media can't ignore this event.

To do this IVAW needs the help of the people and organizations
of the region. Please distribute this email as far and wide as
possible.
