 Weapons Station for 25th\nAnniversary\nJoin Nuremberg Actions, S. Brian 
 Willson, Holley Rauen, David Hartsough,\nDaniel Ellsberg and others at the 
 tracks of the Concord Naval Weapons\nStation this Saturday, September 1st 
 from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. for the 25th\nAnniversary of the vigil at the 
 tracks: "Remembering Nuremberg Actions".\n\nIn the summer of 1987, a small 
 group of peace activists and veterans who had\ncompleted a fast at the 
 nation's capital the previous fall, formed Nuremberg\nActions. They began a 
 vigil outside of the Concord Naval Weapons Station\nannouncing their intent 
 to begin blocking weapons trucks and trains on\nSeptember 1st in a 
 nonviolent protest against weapons shipments to Central\nAmerica. On that 
 day, after clergy formally notified the base that Americans\nwould be 
 sitting on the tracks in a non-violent blockade, Vietnam veteran S.\nBrian 
 Willson was run down and nearly killed by a US Navy Munitions train.\nThe 
 others suffered various injuries, but Brian lost both of his legs.\n\nA 
 court order upheld Nuremberg Actions' right to maintain a 24 hour vigil 
 at\nthe site where Brian was attacked. For three years the community 
 maintained\nthe site and blocked every weapons train and truck as they 
 moved towards\nships to be loaded for Central America. The intentional 
 community of 20 to\n30 people hosted over a thousand Northern California 
 activists who joined in\nthe protest weekly or monthly, and an estimated 
 100,000 visitors from every\ncorner of the nation, and from around the 
 world in those three years. The\nNuremberg community will return to 
 remember that fateful day, honor heroes\nwho have passed, and recommit to 
 peace and social justice.\n\nWhen asked to reflect on that day 25 years ago 
 and what it means today Brian\nresponded, "Those who control the present 
 control the past, and those who\ncontrol the past control the future. As 
 memory is obliterated, people\npossess no frame of reference for assessing 
 present policies. Thus, imperial\nhistory repeats itself over and over. 
 Criminal policy? Why, not us.\nPreserving memories such as the crime at 
 Concord 25 years ago reminds us of\nthe importance of critical thinking and 
 disobedience to state lawlessness."\n\nDIRECTIONS: I-680N to CA-242N toward 
 Pittsburg. Exit Port Chicago Hwy/CA-4 W\n3B, toward Richmond; Take the Port 
 Chicago Hwy North exit on the left. Go\nNorth approx. 1 mile to CNWS and
