Fort Lewis Stop Loss Rally

On May 9th IVAW Ft. Lewis will begin its Stoploss Campaign. Right now Fort Lewis, the largest military base on the West Coast, will be deploying three infantry brigades to Iraq and Afghanistan over the next four months. This means that 10,000 soldiers will be leaving to serve in occupations in the Middle East. IVAW Fort Lewis will be joining with other groups from the community to hold a rally outside the gates of Fort Lewis to demonstrate our support of these soldiers who are being exploited by the military. The anti war-community needs to show service people and their families that they are not suffering alone. Participants will meet at COFFEE STRONG at noon on May 9th to assemble. They will then proceed to Freedom Bridge which leads to the gates of Fort Lewis where they will rally in support of GI Rights. [ Read More ]
