Just heard about this local guy who reluctantly went to Iraq because he was in the reserves, now his contract is up (as of 7/31) and they won't let him out. ======================================================================== Dear friends As many of you know I am in Iraq with the 724th Eng Bn. Many of you may not know however that on July 30th 2003 my enlistment contract ended and the I have been involuntarily extended. I am now a prisoner of the US army. I find it very troubling that the USA would force people against their free will to be in the military, furthermore the fact that their are hundreds perhaps thousands of able bodied volunteer soldier in the Wisconsin Army System that have not been activated and that could replace those soldiers who are in Iraq involuntarily. I request you assistance in helping me get home. Free Moon!! Below is a letter I have written to our Wisconsin congresspersons, and governor. Also below are their addresses and email addresses. I ask that you read my letter to them and email or write all of them with a similar letter addressed from your view point. Please do not forward my letter to them but rather write them in you own words your objection to the practice ofinvoluntary extension as it pertains to me. I feel that if enough people write that it may actually influence my Battalion Commander, who has the power to do so, to grant me my honorable discharge and send me home. Also please forward this email to people who you know know me and would be willing to help. Please help me return home, reunite with my son, and practice my religion of non-violence. Thank you.
