Veterans Voices in Ventura: Soldiers and Family Members Expose Human Cost of War

Ventura, CA (PRWEB) July 4, 2007 -- Join Veterans and family members of those who have served on Saturday July 14th at 7PM in Ventura for a film screening and discussion on the truth about military recruiting and the nonviolent alternatives available to students and especially children of immigrant families.

We will be screening "Reveille! Reveille!" the film that chronicles the Iraq Veterans Against the War in their earliest attempts to prevent further atrocities and regain their humanity. From their initial gathering to their stand at the gates of the White House (which resulted in the largest mass arrest by U.S. Park Police since the Vietnam War) "Reveille! Reveille!" is an eye-opening experience that features Dennis Kyne, Jeff Key, Jimmey Massey and other Iraq War veterans.

Come and take your part in a movement that will not be silenced. Members of the military and their families will discuss the real casualties of war and exchange resources and information on how communities can help facilitate change.

Special Guest Speakers Include:

How To Survive Your Family Beach Vacation Road Trip
I remember driving from Oregon to Utah every summer in a small old car. My mom would pack up the back seat with boxes and suitcases and place on the top a mattress. It must have been a crib size as it was a small 1940's Ford. That is where I rode during the LONG trip. We would play I spy games, sing and I would chatter until I am sure my mom was anxious for the trip to be at its end. This was before freeways so we traveled through every little poe-dunk town and around every river bend so it took much longer that it does today. But kids still are kids and no matter how far the destination, they want to be there NOW.
