As our gift to you in the season of peace, we invite you to a holiday
event this Thursday at the Rockville Library--a chance to be moved and
inspired by Josh Stieber. We are so proud of Josh--he's the 21-year-old
Iraq "surge" veteran from Gaithersburg who, when he saw what war was
like, became a conscientious objector and then spent six months trekking
across the U.S., partly on foot and partly by bicycle.

Seeking love and reconciliation, Josh met with ordinary people doing
extraordinary things as he learned more about peace-making and justice.
He also shared with multiple groups along the way his own story of the
tragedy and immorality of war. Josh is an exceptional young man, and on
Thursday he will tell us about his personal transformation and what he
learned on his amazing journey. You can get a preview of what will
surely be a powerful presentation by checking out his blog.

In addition, two of Peace Action Montgomery's outstanding musicians will
entertain us, and a member of Iraq Veterans Against the War will say a
few words--we'll be taking up a collection for IVAW. Plus, we'll have
holiday treats for you!

So, don't miss this event, and invite all your friends: 7:30 p.m.,
Rockville Library, Thursday, Dec. 17!
