Don't forget Winter Soldier ! Don't forget our veterans!

[kgnu_fan]

Please let me rant a little. I am upset...I know DU is a national board and local story may not fit into this group... but I want to scream to the entire world for this...

Only *ONE* person in the entire metropolitan Denver area showed up for the booksigning for Aaron Grant last night. I am so disappointed.

If you are in the Denver area, why don't you come up to Boulder tonight for his talk....Don't forget the plight of soldiers we sent to Iraq and now we are about to forget....




2/4: Aaron Glantz Lecture & Booksigning
@ 1st Congregational Church Broadway & Pine in Boulder, Colorado! Today, starting at 7:00 PM

The War Comes Home is the first book to systematically document the U.S. government's neglect of soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. Aaron Glantz, who reported extensively from Iraq during the first three years of this war and has been reporting on the plight of veterans ever since, levels a devastating indictment against the Bush administration for its bald neglect of soldiers and its disingenuous reneging on their benefits. Glantz interviewed more than one hundred recent war veterans, and here he intersperses their haunting first-person accounts with investigations into specific concerns, such as the scandal at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center. This timely book does more than provide us with a personal connection to those whose service has cost them so dearly. It compels us to confront how America treats its veterans and to consider what kind of nation deifies its soldiers and then casts them off as damaged goods.
Aaron Glantz, an independent journalist whose work has appeared in The Nation and The Progressive and on Democracy Now!, is the author of How America Lost Iraq.

1. The author's publisher's publicist

should have done the advertising for the book signing.

That's the place you should be addressing.
