Bob and Rosa Watada are traveling around the country to speak on behalf of their son, 28-yr-old Lt. Ehren Watada, who awaits a decision on his court-martial and imprisonment at Ft. Lewis, WA. Please join us to learn more about their son’s decision, the current status of his case, and how people can support him.

Background Info from www.ThankYouLt.org:
On June 22, U.S. Army First Lieutenant Ehren K. Watada became the first commissioned officer to publicly refuse deployment to the unlawful Iraq War and occupation. Lt. Watada has been formally charged with contempt towards President Bush, conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman, and missing movement. On August 24, the Article 32 pre-trial hearing investigator recommended a general court martial on all charges. On September 15, an additional charge was added. For the first time since 1965, the military is prosecuting an objector for his opinions. He faces over eight years in prison - over six years for First Amendment speech alone!
