Fellow Veterans and Friends of Veterans:
 
Below you will find a press release from the ACLU describing a landmark victory for our thousands of heroic Veterans, and here is just the first paragraph:

Federal Judge S. James Otero ruled Thursday that the Dept. of Veterans
Affairs violated federal law when it leased portions of its sprawling West L.A. campus to 11 businesses and organizations for purposes unrelated to providing medical care or treatment for homeless and disabled veterans. The ruling comes more than two years after the ACLU Foundation of Southern California, the Inner City Law Center, Arnold & Porter LLP and Munger, Tolles & Olson LLP, and law professors Laurence Tribe and Gary Blasi, filed suit against the DVA on behalf of homeless and disabled veterans, who were often sleeping outside the gates of the campus.”

This is not only a victory for today's disabled and homeless Veterans, but for all Veterans now and into the future because there no longer will be any misuse of these sacred grounds. It will be maintained for disabled and needy Veterans to provide legitimate healthcare and housing.
 
This Sunday will mark our 285th consecutive Sunday Rally protesting these illegal uses of Veterans land.

Please show up.

We not only will celebrate this victory but pay homage and respect to Newt Young, 84-year- old Korean War Marine Veteran. He stood with us every Sunday for four straight years, until he recently passed away.
 
We thank the ACLU for standing up and defending this land on behalf of America's disabled and homeless Veterans.
 
Please join us on Sunday for a most memorable occasion.
 
God Bless America and the Veterans Revolution.
 
P.S.: The fight really isn't over until all of the illegal occupiers are fully removed from these hallowed grounds. You know that with all their wealth and manipulative power, they will try to finagle their way to stay on these grounds in any manner conceivable.
 
Stand up. Fight back.
