May 20(Friday): Demonstration at Patchogue Recruiting Station 5 to 7pm
In solidarity with counter recruiters nationwide the Suffolk Peace Network Counter
Military Recruitment Committe will conduct a demonstration at the Army/Navy/Air Force
Recruiting Offices on Main Street in Patchogue.
Last week, the U.S. Army announced suspension of all recruiting this Friday, May 20 to conduct an unprecedented "values stand-down" for the 7,500 senior officers and recruiters nationwide.
This comes at a time when military recruitment is down nationally and the common knowledge is that recruiters lie and manipulate people in order to fill their ranks. While the military takes the day to "stand-down," join us on May 20 to STAND UP!
