Sunday March 19, 2006 8:30 AM - 12:00 PM Boston Convention Center 415 Summer St. in South Boston The Convention Center is 5 blocks from the World Trade Center bus stop, on the MBTA's Silver Line. Or take the #7 bus from South Station on the Red Line. South Station is only 3/4 mile away. There is on street parking as well as parking lots nearby, spots will fill up quickly.

In Peace and Solidarity, Nancy Lessin and Charley Richardson for Military Families Speak Out www.mfso.org www.bringthemhomenow.org~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It’s No Laughing Matter! On March 19th, Massachusetts political leaders will attend the annual St. Patrick’s Day Breakfast at the Boston Convention Center, to joke and laugh.
On March 19th, military families, Veterans and our supporters will be marking this day as the 3rd Anniversary of the war in Iraq, a war that should never have happened. Politicians will be ribbing and roasting each other on the day that we embark on the fourth year of a war based on lies -- a war that has taken the lives of over 2,300 U.S. troops and tens of thousands of Iraqi children, women and men.
A moment of silence is not enough.
Our troops and the Iraqi people continue to be in harm’s way, our troops continue to be deployed and re-deployed in an unjust and unjustifiable war – returning with physical and psychological wounds if they come home at all.
Join Iraq Veterans Against the War, Military Families Speak Out, and Veterans For Peace at the Convention Center as they call on these Massachusetts politicians to stop business as usual, show some leadership and speak out to:
Bring our Troops Home Now and Take Care of Them When They Get Here! Sunday, March 19, 2006 8:30 AM – 12:00 PM Boston Convention Center 415 Summer Street in South Boston (5 blocks from the World Trade Center bus stop, on the MBTA’s Silver Line - SL1) For more information, contact Military Families Speak Out at 617-983-0710 or mfso@mfso.org.
