Iraq Vets Bring 'Operation Truth' to Oakton
Three veterans of the war in Iraq stop at Oakton Community College, 12:30 - 2 p.m., Wednesday, Jan. 26, as part of "Operation Truth," a nonprofit, non-partisan effort to spread the truth about the war from those who have seen its battles.
"The conflict in Iraq affects us all, either directly or indirectly," says Richard Stacewicz, coordinator of the Honors Program at Oakton. "Oakton feels it is important to give students and the community a chance to hear from and have a conversation with actual combatants."
Founded by 30-year-old Paul Reickhoff, a first lieutenant in the Army Reserves who served in Iraq for 15 months, "Operation Truth" is designed to stimulate dialogue about the realities of the war among Americans. During the visit to Oakton, Reickhoff and others will share their personal experiences in Iraq, and expand on the mission of "Operation Truth."
This event is sponsored by the Oakton Educators for Social Responsibility, Students for Social Justice, the Oakton Service Learning Program, and the Oakton Honors Program.
