Day

WAND
Executive Director Susan Shaer (left) presents
the award to Nancy Lessin, co-founder of
Military Families Speak Out, labor activist,
and mother to a son recently returned from
Iraq.
Nancy
read heart-rending messages from families
who have loved ones still serving in Iraq,
and who are choosing to stand up and speak
out against the war. |

After
speaking, Nancy hugged some of the families
who were in the audience, including the wife
and children of a man in the National Guard
who's currently in Iraq. |
