Testify - Winter Soldier: Iraq & Afghanistan

By Aaron Hughes

Winter Soldier was one of Vietnam Veterans Against the War's most important tactics. This action brought together over a hundred veterans to testify to the crimes of United States foreign policy and catapulted Vietnam Veterans Against the War into a national organization.

Iraq Veterans Against the War is following in Vietnam Veterans Against the War's footsteps and holding a testimonial series in Washington DC from March 13 to the 16, 2008 just before the start of the sixth year of the war in Iraq.

Winter Soldier: Iraq & Afghanistan is not just a testimonial series. It is a spear on which Iraq Veterans Against the War will be organizing behind to pierce through the myths of war and unite active duty soldiers and veterans to FIGHT BACK.

Iraq Veterans Against the War needs your help to get veterans there. PLEASE SPONSOR AN IRAQ/AFGHANISTAN VETERAN. Donations of any size are needed. The approximate cost per veteran will be $1,250, so work with your communities to sponsor a veteran to one of the most important actions in the anti-war movement. For when the soldiers stop fighting the war ends… HELP UNITE US.
