We had our Veterans for Peace retreat today and during the lunch hour we went out to a local bridge in Augusta for a protest in support of whistle blower Bradly Manning. Today marks day 1,000 in jail without formal charges against Manning.
The retreat went very well and we were very moved while viewing the video by Regis Tremblay about the Jeju Island Navy base struggle. The rough video cut is just a taste of what is to come in this dynamic story that puts the current Korean situation in a historical context that most people in the US know little to nothing about. Happily VFP agreed to give Regis $1,000 to help him defray his many costs in production.
