Winter Soldier Southwest a big success

ws-sw.jpg

Winter Soldier Southwest was a great success.  There were more than half a dozen camera crews shooting it for purposes ranging from independent media to anti-war documentaries.  The panelists were quite moving and the audience was extremely supportive and full of positive energy.  We want to thank everyone that helped put the event together, including all the panelists from VVAW, VFP, MFSO and Gold Star Families.  Most profoundly moving was the testimony of the Gold Star Families panel.

Quite a number of panelists testimonies have found their way onto the internet already, below is a short list of a few links to what's out there
