More Info:	
Recently, two Afghanistan veterans returned to Afghanistan as
civilians to explore the possibilities for future joint projects
between Afghanistan veterans and the Afghan people.

Their mission was to:
-Build solidarity with Afghanistan organizations working for peace,
human rights and a just end to the U.S. Occupation of Afghanistan.
-Provide on-the-ground reporting from an Afghanistan veteran perspective.
-Build on contacts from previous delegations in order to gather the
perspectives of Afghans regarding the question: What do the Afghan
people wish for Afghanistan, and how can we as veterans of the
Afghanistan War humbly assist in achieving those goals?

Please come to this important event and bring others to appreciate
veterans speaking their conscience!

With the ten-year anniversary of our invasion of Afghanistan
approaching, it's a critical time to push our government and military
to end the wasteful spending on a failed occupation, and focus on
re-building America for working families here at home.
