1. Hope they get a chance to go to Crawford
Cindy may not be back because of her ailing mom, but Ritter and these vets would be most welcome. Camp Casey goes on. Cindy is with them in spirit and our prayers go with Cindy and her mom. Speedy recovery for Casey's grandmother and Cindy's mom.

2. Thanks for the heads up.
My son is a sophomore at SMU. I told him about this event, and he will be there.

3. Wonderful, tell him to bring as many friends as he can. Scott Ritter
was The Dallas Peace Center's guest speaker at last summer's banquet. He is an incredibly dynamic speaker and he has a very powerful message to be heard. I'm looking forward to seeing him again and seeing the film (although I'm not really looking forward to seeing what has happened to Fallujah).

Spread the word.

Peace,
anarchy1999

ps/how did you find DU? and welcome.

4. Hey DB, are you going to come?
I noticed in your profile you are just a hop, skip and a jump away. Bedford, that's just right around the corner. If you think your son would enjoy this event, will you come as well.

I think you should.

I look forward to seeing you there with your son and I hope he is able to bring a few of his friends and I hope you bring a few of yours as well. I'm looking forward to meeting you all.

peace

5. I would certainly be there, too ...
.. but I will be out-of-town on business. Wes, my son, will give me a full report. Unlike many parents and their children, he and I agree completely when it comes to politics and related topics.

To answer your other question, I found out about DU from listening to Air America. It's just about all we listen to on radio in our cars, now. My wife included.

Thanks, again, for letting us know about this event.
