Yahoo.com has Active Duty Military asking for Redress
Right now, Yahoo has the "60 Minutes" interview that aired Sunday with Active Duty Military who are speaking out against this war in Iraq. They are part of "Appeal to Redress". It made me cry when I saw it was on Yahoo.com and will reach so many people. It makes me cry because it is so courageous of these soldiers to speak out. Hopefully it might save some of those soldiers who are suffering.

I absolutely couldn't not believe it was on front of Yahoo.com. When you click on it you can see the whole 60 minutes interview. I hope it was still up on Yahoo.com when you get this email. This was suppose to be shown about a month ago and they decided not to show it.. Many of us email 60minutes to show it. These courageous soldiers are speaking out and deserve to be heard. It was not a non-bias interview.. and it was hard to watch the interviewer not asking questions in favor of those speaking out but at least it reaches those active duty who need a place to speak out. With so many soldiers with PTSD, and attempting/committing suicide this interview was very important.
To read about what these soldiers are talking about check out.

If it is not on Yahoo anymore check out http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/02/22/60minutes/main2505412.shtml

The next big event is The Veterans for Peace.. going to help with rebuilding in Gulf Coast.
