Keep Our Guard HomeResources for the Campaign to Defederalize
the NJ National Guard
|
3000 of the New Jersey National Guard are currently in Texas training for deployment to Iraq in September. 61 of them are students from Rutgers Newark. Many are parents, some are grandparents, our teachers, police officers, first responders, and our children. Ask yourself: What is their purpose in Iraq? What is the purpose of ANY of our military in Iraq? |
