Most of what is done in MFSO is pretty heavy stuff. On occassion, however, we get to lighten up a bit and talk with like minded individuals....you know the 60% of those American voters who actually believe that "Stay the Course" is bad for our country.
MFSO-Chicago members Laura and Marge will table at the Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young "Freedom of Speech Concert" on Sept 2. I have listened to the Young album "Living With War" often since its release. My personal favorite is the song "Flags of Freedom" which was written to honor Bob Dylan.
And on September 9, Katy, Rosemarie and Marge will participate in the second annual Peace Fair held in Oak Park. Georgia Stillwell, MFSO Wisconsin, another good friend who took House Call to Dennis Hastert, is scheduled to speak.
A smaller Eyes Wide Open exhibit will be at the Fair...a sobering reminder of why we work so hard to advocate for our loved ones both on the battlefield and here at home. Our small contingent includes the mom of an active duty Soldier now serving, a mom who just spent months supporting her son who was seriously injured in Iraq, a Gold Star Mom and a mom whose son returned from Iraq with PTSD.
