In the small town of Cottage Grove, Ore., just south of Eugene,
about 230 protesters walked two-by-two through the streets, some
carrying bells, others holding a half-mile-long chain of flags
bearing the names of American troops and Iraqi children killed
during the war.
"The best thing we can do is get out, and get out as fast as we can,"
said Ron Betts, 58, a disabled Vietnam veteran.

the recruitment offices of all four recruitment centers (Army,
Navy,Marines, Air force), establishing our right to protest at a
"private property" shopping center without interference by law
enforcement, and very effectively injecting our message into the
mainstream media through both graphic images and powerful spoken
statements of the reality of the war and the deceptions of the
recruiters--we were the lead story on the three major TV networks in
Eugene! I will be forwarding an account of our story in detail to you
later this weekend to share with your friends, under a separate email.
