Just prior to the Republican Convention Veterans For Peace held their annual convention, it to took place in the twin cities area, Minneapolis-St Paul. For those who might be interested you can take a look at some photo’s of the VFP Convention Here and Here
But this isn’t about the VFP Convention, it’s about what came out of.
Veterans For Peace adopted two resolutions last week effectively firing signal flares into the path of whoever wins this November’s election, regardless of party.

TWO JOURNEYS, TWO GENERATIONS, BRINGING EACH OTHER HOME
“Leave No Soldier”
A feature length documentary directed, produced and co-written by Donna Bassin,
an official selection of the 2008 Rhode Island International Film Festival.
“LEAVE NO SOLDIER,” Tells the story of two impassioned journeys by two communities of American War Veterans who have carried a Military Oath from the Battlefield
to the home front. The two groups are divided by their politics, but united in their devotion to dead comrades and their compassionate commitment
to “Leave No Fallen Soldier Behind”.

As the United States prepares to remember its war dead on Memorial Day, some veterans who want to remember their fallen comrades with a wish for peace are being barred from participating in official events.
Two chapters of Veterans for Peace, one in Washington state and one in Washingtgon, D.C., have been banned from parades.
In both cases,VFP was told it could not participate because the organization is “too political.” That is the same reason that others have given for barring Veterans for Peace and Vietnam Veterans Against the War from Veterans Day parades and activities.
What is particularly sad is that those who exclude them are often veterans themselves, with some misguided sense of patriotism.

At any rate, I just received the following Press Release from him and read it in near disbelief. The Press Release speaks for itself.
