Commemorating the 4th Anniversary of the War

Monday, March 19th marks a tragic anniversary that we all hoped we would never see: four years since the start of the U.S. invasion and now military occupation of Iraq. We join all of you in sadness and outrage at a war that should never have started and is now continuing into a fifth year.

At events surrounding the 4th anniversary of the war, military families will join with others in calling for Congress to use its ‘power of the purse’ to end the funding that allows the war in Iraq to continue. De-funding the war is not de-funding our troops. If they give additional funds to President Bush to continue the U.S. military occupation of Iraq, Members of Congress will be abandoning our troops.

On Monday MFSO will be holding a National press conference in Washington, DC at 10:30 am on the Terrace of the Cannon House Office Building. Over the weekend we will also be participating in marches, vigils, actions etc, from New York to Fayetteville, NC to Houston, TX to Eugene, OR and everywhere in between.
