As you’ve all heard, one of our own was critically injured this week when police forcibly broke up an “Occupy Oakland” event. Scott Olsen did two tours in Iraq with the Marines, only to come home and have his skull fractured by a tear gas canister. While our prayers go out to Scott and the Olsen family, our task is to get organized.

With more and more veterans joining Occupy movements across the country, it is critically important that we form a visible, strong contingent of vets here in NYC. Occupy Wall Street offers us an unprecedented opportunity to highlight the economic struggles of returning veterans, while also uniting with labor, community organizations, students, and the rest of the 99%.

If you are in the NY/NJ area, please join us this Saturday at the national office of Iraq Veterans Against the War (address below). We’ll order pizza and probably get some beers afterward.

Please RSVP, pass this on to vet friends, and let me know if you’re no longer in the NY/NJ area.

Best,
Perry

I'm slowly coming down on the side of this one being real. There have been no further updates or anything from the OccupyPolice website--given they were hacked once, perhaps they have been again. But I'm still suspicious of that being an actual organization; this one, however, I think may well be real.

I think that, even if not initially real/legit - it may become so as a result of this incident, as current and former marines see one of their own being smacked down for trying to excercise the very freedoms they believe they are fighting for.

Awful lot of "How DARE they?!" goin on in the military community over this one, oh indeed.

EXCELLENT! Given it was one Marine speaking out who caught their attention, and now this is hopefully inflaming more of them, I can only applaud!

Sounds legitimate, I wish them well and I hope Scott will be okay.
