Memorial Day Weekend-March for Soldiers

Support our active duty military in their "Appeal for Redress" march of support- for brothers and sisters in arms, on Memorial Day Weekend, Sunday May 27, 2007 march step-off at 1 PM.

More information about the petition: http://www.appealforredress.org/

The wording of the Appeal for Redress is short and simple. It is patriotic and respectful in tone.

As a patriotic American proud to serve the nation in uniform, I respectfully urge my political leaders in Congress to support the prompt withdrawal of all American military forces and bases from Iraq . Staying in Iraq will not work and is not worth the price. It is time for U.S. troops to come home.

Please come dressed in uniform (retired) or plain non uniform cameo jacket, pants etc. (active, reserve) All participants should wear a hat. We are looking for a snare drum to lead the march. A flute or fife player would be just great too. March cadence from the Statehouse to the Federal Building where the petition will be read, along with a prayer of peace for our troops and the Iraqi people.

We would like to limit participation to former or current soldiers and we need at least 24 to make a formation during the speech.

Peace groups and others are invited limiting their own participation to signs of support for the action and lot’s of cheering for our brave troops
