DESCRIPTION:On Monday, July 24, a group of grandparents, sponsored by Grandmothers 
 Against the War and the Mt. Diablo Peace Center, will try to enlist at the 
 recruitment centers in Pleasant Hill.  As an act of love and concern, they 
 will offer themselves as replacements for military personnel in 
 Iraq.\n\nPart of a rapidly growing national movement, the grandparents are 
 outraged at the deaths of over 2500 and the wounding of almost 20,000 U.S. 
 military personnel.  They want their children and grandchildren to come 
 home and the occupation of Iraq to end.  They are willing to put themselves 
 in harm's way because they have been fortunate enough to have already 
 enjoyed full lives.  They hope that by enlisting they can speed the return 
 of our brave young people and call attention to the disastrous U.S. policy 
 in Iraq.\n\nWar veterans, DVC students, and singers, among others, will 
 attend the Pleasant Hill demonstration,\n\nAll those who share the passion 
 of the grandparents are invited to join with the group to show our concern 
 for our young people far from home and our demand for an end to the failing 
 U.S. policy in Iraq\n\n
