Winter Soldier 2009 - Rooster Romriell Poem

On February 28, 2009, Austin, Texas was host to Winter Soldier - veterans telling their stories - a conference put together by Iraq Veterans Against the War and other organizations. This is an excerpt from over 3 hours of video recorded there by Lucia Duncan. She (a student, I believe) did not have time to do anything with the footage so the event's organizers asked me to see about posting some of it. There are 2 short pieces by Rooster Romriell, a veteran of Iraq, now a musician, poet and student. In addition to this short poem, I am posting Rooster's powerful stories of horrors that he witnessed and participated in at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAJw3JRCHsw&feature=channel_page
