Veterans Talk About the War

Footage from the weekend's Winter Soldier hearings hosted by IVAW

On Feb. 28, Iraq Veterans Against the War played host to the Winter Soldier South Central Region hearings at the Central Presbyterian Church.

The Chronicle was there to catch veterans, including Marie Combs, Hart Viges, Bobby Whittenberg, Bryan Hannah and Hart Viges (read our interview with Viges and other veterans here), as well as local activists discuss the current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.


Read about the event in tomorrow's issue, and come back for more footage from the march that followed.
