Military Ships Return to Olympia
On November 5th military ships begin off-loading equipment returning from Iraq at the Port of Olympia. Our demonstrations are intended to show growing opposition to the war and the use of the Port of Olympia to ship military equipment to the Middle East in support of US occupation. The shipment contains Stryker Brigade equipment which was shipped out of Olympia in May 2006 from the Port of Olympia prior to their deployment. The brigade lost 48 soldiers during their tie in Iraq. We intend to keep our soldiers home and end the loss of innocent Iraqi lives facilitated by the militarization of our ports.

Also...

Families and friends in Olympia say:

"End the Occupation of Iraq NOW!"

"Bring them home & keep them home!"

Tuesday, Nov. 6th - 4pm

Percival Landing Gather to march in our Streets, our Port, our Home.
