NH Unionleader: Families of the 94th on the warpath [View All]

[NewHampshireDem]

HOLLIS — Military families threatened to wage a war of their own last night, as sadness turned to sharp anger at the Bush administration for keeping their loved ones in Iraq.

It was another monthly meeting for relatives of reservists in the Londonderry-based 94th Military Police Company of the U.S. Army Reserve, but this one was unlike any other before it.

Two days after learning their loved ones would not be leaving the Middle East as expected Sunday, the families said they’re ready to launch a political fight.

“God forbid, if one soldier dies, there will be no end to anything any one of our members can do,” said Gerri Whittredge, who lent the group her Hollis home for the meeting. “I will be in Washington, D.C., at Mr. Bush’s door, shoving his words down his throat.”
