ALCON,
More data on the march on NOV 02.
Who: Occupy Pittsburgh and Occupy Veterans
What: March in solidarity with Scott Olsen (the OccupyOakland Marine
veteran critically injured when the police raided their camp)
When: 1830-2130 02NOV11
Where: Schenley Plaza (
https://www.facebook.com/schenleyplaza )
Why/how:
Basically, my plan is to show up at Schenely Plaza at around 1730 or
so and try to link up with as many pf y'all as I can prior to the
march. I'll have my ACU top on this time. I'd like to invite all who
still have their any of their branches duty tops to wear them if the
feel comfortable doing so. The idea will be to present a visible
presence of vets who support the Occupy movement and stand with the
citizens of Oakland, CA in condemnation of the violence perpetrated on
them by those sworn to protect them. The message being that we as
veterans swore an oath to defend the people of this country against
all enemies foreign AND DOMESTIC and that we intend to honor this
oath. If you know veterans from any era who wish to stand with us,
please invite them to come out and walk with us. I hope to see y'all
there.
Here is more info on the action that is occurring nationwide from the
OccupyOakland page:

I know not all of y'all are on FB but here is the link to the FB
invite for the event:
https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=312769162072633
Anyone should be able to click on that and see the info about the
event but you have the 5Ws up above :-) If anything material changes
I'll push another Email but you won't see a proper OPORD we'll just
FRAGO off this one.
Take Care, Stay Safe and hope to see y'all on the 2nd!
Brett
