Vets4Peace Exec Dir. Michael McPhearson discusses Vet deportation/reflects on Memorial Day

Michael T. McPhearson joins Jim Wohlgemuth to discuss the dilemma of Veteran Deportation and Memorial Day.  Michael participated in an NAACP Town Hall concerning the Naturalization of Veterans.  Unfortunately, non-citizens will join the US Military, thinking it is a path to citizenship, and find out, nope.  Michael spoke at that event, sharing the efforts VFP takes to help these veterans.  We also watched the film "Bring Them Home" and heard from a panel that included Zahid Chaudhry, VFP chapter president, and currently fighting to stay in the country.   Then Michael gave a Memorial Day speech in front of the Federal Building in downtown Seattle, which was then published in the South Seattle Emerald.  We discuss the speech and reflect on Memorial Day.  Michael then shares his vision of VFP.
