Excellent! 'Taps' at Camp Casey's crosses! Please let there be film!
From The Huffington Post (Jeff Key's* blog)...

...The "W" stickers are plentiful on base, as you can imagine. A lot of them buy it hook, line, and sinker. Most of the guys are awesome people, but as odd as it seems, they are not very informed politically. One of the young men I talked to this weekend didn't even know the name of the Vice President! Can you believe that? If things continue on the track that they are going, this young man could very likely die because of Dick's (et al.) antics...and the boy didn't even know his name.

I'll write you something when I get to Alabama. I have an early flight tomorrow. It's after midnight and I had to get up at three or four in the morning for the last three days. I'll be getting to Crawford on Thursday. I'm bringing my bugle so I can honor the dead at the memorial...Arlington South-West, I like to call it. I'd come to Texas tomorrow, but I have a friend in Alabama who's about to die, and I want to say goodbye. Hang tight 'til I get there. Godspeed.

* "Lance Corporal Jeff Key, United States Marine and a member of Iraq Veterans Against the War, turned his experiences in Iraq - and his exit from the military - into a critically acclaimed one-man show, "The Eyes of Babylon." LA Weekly calls him "an unstoppable force" and Backstage West says he "could some day change the world.""
