military families!!!
If you can make it, please come tonight to the meeting. This group was started by my friend Jane, who is one of the Sisters Speak Out women. Her son is a Blackhawk Commander currently in Iraq. The meetings are typically very small and casual, but I see this as a great way to put our energies into a positive cause while we're still reeling and trying to sort our our strategies.
The meeting is at 6:30 tonight at Orchard Ridge United Church of Christ, 1501 Gilbert Rd. in Madison. If you need directions, pm me.
I am not from a military family (though my husband is a vet - does that count?), but obviously we all know how important it is to continue to support the young men and women who are sacrificing their lives in this unjust war. Jane put everything in her life on hold to work to get Kerry elected, and I am anxious to find out what she sees as the role for her group and for us in the coming months and years.
And as a side note to those few people who have posted that they no longer support the troops, because the troops voted for bush, I hope you will be willing to reconsider. I know that MANY of the troops were directed to vote IN FRONT OF THEIR COMMANDING OFFICERS!!! and they were not free to vote as they chose.
