The operation is to show support and to give thanks to all those in the Air and Army National Guard, the Coast Guard, the Seabees at Gulfport NCBC, the Marines, and those stationed at Keesler Air Force Base. Without the help of the military, the Mississppi Gulf Coast would be far behind in it's recovery efforts from Hurricane Katrina. It's a disgrace the Veterans for Peace would use our grief to undermine our military. Please join us if you can.
