http://ivaw.org/about & http://ivaw.org/faq IVAW members are leading a march to the Democratic National Convention in Denver, where they will deliver a folded flag and a letter calling on Barack Obama to endorse the three main goals of IVAW: Immediate withdrawal, full veterans benefits, and reparations for the Iraqi people. Following a packed show at the Denver Coliseum where Rage Against the Machine and the Flobots encouraged the crowd of ten thousand to join IVAW's march, two squads of 25 IVAW members each formed up outside the venue and began marching to the Pepsi center. The squads are led by members in dress uniforms and combat uniforms, and as of 4pm, the crowd of supporters behind them continues to grow - already thousands have joined.
