Join us for a Peaceful afternoon of inspiring speakers, open discussion, a little poetry and great music. Two Texans will share their stories of transformation from Warriors to Conscientious Objectors. Hart Viges was raised in West Texas, graduated from San Angelo High in 1994, and joined the Army after 9/11. He served in Iraq with the 82nd Airborne and was awarded an Honorable Discharge in Dec. 2004 as a CO. Hart resides in Austin and is active in counter-recruitment & the GI Rights Hotline. He is currently working on HR 1921 - Religious Freedom Peace Tax Fund Act - a bill that would extend one's CO status to the taxes one pays and their use. | ||
