Smedley D. Butler Brigade Chapter 9 Veterans For Peace
Sow Justice, Reap Peace
Occupation Project 2/20/07
On 2/20/07 Veterans For Peace led an occupation of Rep.
Edward J. Markey’s office in Medford. We are trying to
get Rep. Markey to sign a pledge to vote against the $100
billion supplemental appropriation for the Iraq war. We
read the names of all 3133 American war dead in Iraq.
Missing are the names of the 655,000 Iraqis killed there.
