Ladies and Gentlemen,
I had the distinct privilege of working Security in the main room during the Winter Soldier testimony. During the four days we were at the National Labor College, I met over half of you and made it a point to say welcome home to everyone I met.
I salute you all. Who would have thought that we would be doing the same shit after 37 years? But it was necessary and ya'll did a marvelous job. You have reached many Americans both in and out of this country. The proof were the emails you received from a platoon Sergeant in Iraq and the soldiers who complained that their Sergeant shut off the broadcast in their day room.
The topics were relevant, well moderated and most importantly, right on friggin target. You covered everything from Veterans health care to building the GI resistance movement. Every single panelist (and the entire IVAW membership) is to be congratulated for your courage and your patriotism.
The staff at the National Labor College were always present and always helpful. Congratulations to all of you.
You Guys are now on point. We have your backs.
Peace out.
