Our local Indiana soldiers
of the 76th Brigade and the 293rd Infantry have taken over control of Camp
Anaconda, Iraq. This group of U.S. Army soldiers includes local soldiers
and some of IU's own students, and we need to support them. One of those
soldiers is IUGOP member and former Vice-Chair, SPC Tara Virgil. We wish

contact AJ. The IU College Republicans will continue to organize events
for anyone interested in showing support for our troops.
