Shutting down the Machine - Memorial Day March in Ft. Hood

These photographs were found on the Under the Hood Facebook page, May 26, 2009

On the corner across from Ft. Hood. Holding the Under the Hood banner: Joie Michaels, the ever-present Killeen-based supporter of the troops, and Cynthia (Cindy)Thomas, founder and surrogate mother to many a lonely-hearted soldier.

Victor Agosta, the first Ft. Hood-based soldier to refuse deployment for the "war on terror" in Afhanistan. Victor did not go AWOL. He stood in front of his entire platoon when he refused orders to prep for deployment - based on ethical reasons.

Travis the Country Singer is in the same unit as Victor. When he saw Victor refuse deployment and receive support, he went AWOL. He turns himself in today with his lawyer - who is also representing Travis. He is refusing deployment on religious reasons. He's Christian. Thank God.

From Right: Joie and J (who was recently released from being court marshalled and awaits discharge) presented Cindy Thomas, founder of Under the Hood, with a poem.
