It’s more like 99 percent!!!"On May 20th members of the Military Project and Veterans For Peace launched another day of outreach action with soldiers of an Army National Guard unit in New York City.This unit has many soldiers who have returned very recently from duty in Iraq.We were successful in distributing the largest amount to date: more than 115 of the Traveling Soldier newsletter and a GI Special excerpt, and many GI Hotline cards and GI rights brochures.
