The site is in only its second week up and running and has already
connected a dozen soldiers to men and women who secured CO status while
enlisted. The site was set up Perry O'Brien from Peaks Island, Maine;
see article by Perry at http://www.commondreams.org/views05/0208-20.htm
Perry was a medic in the 82d Airborne deployed in Afghanistan and
secured his CO status in what his JAG lawyer described as record time.
He is busy doing speaking engagements for churches, school groups, and
others. He took many photographs while in Afghanistan is selling prints
as a fundraiser for his work. Contact Perry at perry.obrien@gmail.com
