They cut the brains out of several corpses and turned their flame thrower on the library.

The following year Vietnam Veteran/ later to become Maryknoll missionary Fr. Roy Bourgeois, Vietnam War "Congretional Medal of Honour" winner Charlie Litkey http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article17846.htm and his brother Pat Litkey made their way to the front office of the S.O.A. at Ft.

This Nov 16th. anniversary has become a major time for mobilsation and nonviolent resistance to close the School of the Ameicas. In 2007, 20,000+ assembled to close the School. 11 activists entered the based, were arrested and sentenced to 30-90 days http://www.soaw.org/article.php?id=1621 Since 1989 aom 226 SOAW activists have collectively spent 95 years in jail for nonviolently resisting the base.

In 2008 the mobilistaion and nonviolent resistance will be taking place from Nov 21-23 http://www.soaw.org/article.php?id=1693 at SOA Ft. Benning.

The vigil will demand the immediate closure of the S.O.A. Testimonies of the effect of the S.O.A. will be given by people from, and who have worked in, a variety of Latim American countries. The vigil will be in solidarity with those heading to FT. Benning to make the same demand with their voices and bodies.
