 specialist in Germany from July, 1996 to July, 2000. He served in the 
 National Guard from 2000 to January, 2005. He was in Iraq from June, 2003 
 to April, 2004, in hotspots like Abu Ghraib. He was one of the soldiers who 
 blew the whistle on abuse of prisoners at the Abu Ghraib prison.  \n 
 \n“The company manned the entry gate, did external security, guarded 4 
 prison areas, and the inprocessing/outprocessing area.  As we had our work 
 cut out for us, it's easy to see why I spent more time guarding prisoners 
 at the inprocessing/outprocessing area than working on radios.  My unit 
 wasn't involved in any of the notorious events, but that was due to our 
 high visibility, not to any good discipline among the troops.”   Ramon 
 Leal \n \nRamon Leal is a member of Iraq Veterans Against the War,\nand 
 currently Vice President of the Bay Area 
 Chapter.\nhttp://www.ivaw.org/chapter/bayarea,  bayarea@ivaw.org   phone:

 serving in the military.\n\nAt the event on March 24, we will be raising 
 funds for the IVAW and specifically for the legal defense of Agustin Aguayo 
 who is in prison in Germany, far from his family, facing a sentence of up 
 to seven years for refusing to deploy to Iraq a second 
 time.\nwww.aguayodefense.org
