This year we will be including art displays relating to peace, war, and justice; along with a poster contest. Musicians, poets, and a humorist will gather to mark our eight years of the Oil War in Iraq and the apparent permanent Occupation of Afghanistan. Join us in Sheboygan to experience the longest running such concert in the Midwest, as we express our outrage to those in power who created and now perpetrate these non-wars. Contact Chris Kuehnel, 920-918-2405, or the website, www.vetsforpeacesheboygan.org/upcomingevents.htm for more information.
