Adam Kokesh was one of the speakers, on July 17, 2007, at a rally held in the Upper Senate Park, opposite the U.S. Capitol, in Washington, D.C. Mr. Kokesh is with the Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW) organization. He is a former member of the U.S. Marine Corps. The purpose of the event was to kick off the “Funding the War is Killing the Troops” campaign. See, grassrootsAmerica4us.org, http://washingtonpeacecenter.org, democracyrising.us and http://www.ivaw.org/ for more background information. After the rally, IVAW members planned to deliver American flags to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-SC). Prior to the rally, an american flag was delivered on the grounds of the U.S. Capitol by IVAW members to Terry Lierman, chief of staff to the House Majority Leader, Rep. Steney Hoyer (D-MD).

This video focuses on the soldiers in Iraq and their ordeal over there. It’s another video I made in spare time.
Keep vulgar and hateful comments to yourself. This is tribute to the fallen men and women in uniform, not a political statement or debate about whether or not we should be there.
Warning: there are some graphic pictures !
My Favorite poem that sums it up by Charles M. Province:
It is the Soldier, not the minister
Who has given us freedom of religion.
It is the Soldier, not the reporter
Who has given us freedom of the press.
It is the Soldier, not the poet
Who has given us freedom of speech.
It is the Soldier, not the campus organizer
Who has given us freedom to protest.
It is the Soldier, not the lawyer
Who has given us the right to a fair trial.
It is the Soldier, not the politician
Who has given us the right to vote.
It is the Soldier who salutes the flag,
Who serves beneath the flag,
And whose coffin is draped by the flag,
Who allows the protester to burn the flag.
