Veterans’ Voices for June 25, 2008 – DU

onair — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 20:12:14 +0000

This week on Veterans’ Voices we discuss the dangers of depleted uranium with 82 year old WWII Veteran, Bud Deraps, who’s grandson died in Iraq in 2006. He will tell us about legislation he is proposing.

Over one million US troops, contractors, and civilians along with unnumbered Iraqis, will suffer the effects of depleted uranium for generations.

Tune in at 5 pm every Wednesday or stream/podcast here.

Last week we played Winter Soldier testimony about the dehumanization of the enemy from Domingo Rosas, the trailer from Body of War, and discuss the growing list of casualties. Get the podcast before it’s too late.
