Also, it is definitely worth reading Justin’s personal blog, especially this recent post about the OK peace community entitled “Walking Alone.” I tend to think Justin is right in his criticism, but I’m not sure what the remedy is. I definitely will be giving this some thought and I hope others in the OK peace community do the same. We MUST get behind Iraq and Afghan war vets who are speaking out against the war, and we MUST find ways to reach out to active duty and reserve troops.

Glad to see you posted Justin’s “Walking Alone” blog, I sent that out and hoped that people would take the time to read it. I was a little concerned myself with what seemed to be a lack of interest in the Winter Soldier hearings, I know it was in DC but several Oklahoma soldiers attended. Most other places there was quite a bit of interest, I even saw an announcement about Winter Soldier online from the paper in Joplin MO, I guess because Justin was invited to speak near there.
