invasion of iraq. i. am. i'm fighting to avoid the next war to keep other young people with hopes and dreams just swaying. like my son pesos going from being grabbed by the claws of american militarism. put in which i fight for peace for the us. to mr. what i think will you. give me a gun i speak with you share with me didn't just play. so many you're going to have to stand on your back my sword i don't agree you don't agree with brother dave my sone is in the rain i don't know what is crafty are going to find me for you.

his source was an ordinary boy. it after years he was mischievous. like to tease his sisters loved them a lot but all. his faces wanted to be a policeman until when he was thirteen he met the military recruiters in san diego . sent on the it was. a little they told them that if he unrolled in the u.s. army later he could join the drug enforcement agency and become an international police officer in the. division doing we made the. to

move to the u.s. under pressure from pesos and alleviate the already. used to it wants to join the us army and. just thought of this you see we sold our home and our laundering business in tijuana and we started a new life here because i want to keep. it she said but he exercised kept his weight studied to get good grades and then when it's going to be yes for going to a recruiter told him if he served for just one year get out of it qualify for the da. so i finally give my consent to feed him and he enlisted when he was seventeen and a half and all the shit james who made. this

he was a camp pendleton when nine eleven happened to give you. a maybe you have to know why you're like thousands of other parents we thought there will be a war a dose of backstory and you. meet in february first he said father in four days i'm leaving for iraq. as an invented journalist going to a unit i met on the very first day of the war got to go back. he was part of a two man sniper team just hours before the. invasion crime to guard power in the

kuwait iraq border the search for iraqi mine layers on the other side. i am going to get you. to exactly one week after we shot this video zeus was killed when he stepped on an unexploded u.s. artillery. if. a certain day i want to tell you a but my son hey source or so i mean you might identify with that. unless you're he was born here in t.o. wanna just he went to los alamos grade school he. i don't think that he enlisted

with the marines before september eleventh. i had to give my written consent because he was just seventeen in the house. that's the legal age for enrollment in the u.s. army. the iraq war began on march twentieth. on the twenty eighth just eight days later if any soldiers came to see me. they called me at work and i came home. and they said mr suarez your son is a hero and he died tonight in the battlefield the iraqi soldiers shot him in the head. i swear to those words destroyed my life.

but that is the three days later a journalist called me. so you said mr suarez they lied to you and your son wasn't killed by the enemy so he was killed by friendly fire in the explain what happened. it is during the night of march twenty sixth. planes twenty thousand cluster bombs. into see it on march twenty seventh my son's unit marched on baghdad. and he stepped on an american cluster bomb. i mean nobody's paying me to talk to you no matter what i do will never come back. i mean my grandson will never see his father again. but in each of your faces i see hey.

it was it that i visited more than five hundred schools around the world. but just to go to the next generation at the us. must have your say davis only you can save your life but a soreness inside. thank you. for this.

morning's today violence is once again flared up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. giant corporations are the day. you know how sometimes you see a story and it seems so for lengthly you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else and you hear or see some other part of it and realized everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm trying hard welcome to the big picture.

soon which brightened if you knew about songs from phones to crash and it's. nice cruise stunts on t.v. don't. cut. free. free. free. free. free. free.

free. to. stop the killing of young. people. i mean the march to come together. was. no more fear i. fear you have the power. i thank you. thank. you. thank you. young people should stay in school. become soldiers and fight.

to keep the. peace march the. ten to fifteen miles a day. peace. how . was i who who he. have i

guess us. her. people around the world are very interested in us and chicanos and she got us why because a lot of us are fighting and dying in iraq right now a lot of our party and there's a you all may know are in the military is done with robot and we work hard to create jobs so that latino's don't have to serve in the u.s. army i said recently that we try to tell the truth about military service. because the recruiters painted distorted picture of it. in one hour or so because his students who. are

her. or her supervisor that i teach the literature and chicano studies about mexican americans in california. and i met fernando's warres del sol law in two thousand and three just after his son's death we will. that's when we begin to work on ways to counter military recruitment. i mean this means a lot somy. i'm a vietnam vet vietnam a slave it on the vietnam. look ystem was in one nine hundred ninety the clinton administration the military realized there were a lot of young latinos and they could target for recruiting and they in most books the most on us in quantity. solo's latinos put us on it because.

you could give iraq war put pressure on the pentagon to step up recruiting and workforce. the one that that because so they targeted people without immigration papers that i had in document filed those i can escape and. i moved a lot of kids arrived without papers but they grew up here and. only cells in need of. they went to school here that he will there bilingual and bicultural some before he died it was. really cuz the schools must give recruiters their students' names and addresses and phone numbers on this meat that . was. less as well as the zinc

and if they refuse and they lose their federal funding. so the pentagon has direct access to all these young people. are going to be. destroyed there's no family privacy. the recruiters call them up every night he ran meant they lost brothers he spun out a latino parents are up against recruiting drives all over this country and. that. that what. i was. i am. i. i. went to the most but alice liked where in front of sun ac into high school just

three miles from. me yes they were from dead according to quantum mechanical and military have an office inside a unified delicacy. in this year ninety percent of the students are latinos. i did this of c.d.'s i stand shoulder to the instructors encourage the kids to train as a junior reserve officers on my day off you see at least you knew you were going to be so many that if he is on that that means you're going to end recruiters finish the job and enlisting them in the army is freedom out of london about a slogan is using data and other hits to. pentagon figures tell us that latino's and african-americans as time served in the lower ranks of the u.s. military said reese's meet that is. among the first soldiers to die at

least three were hispanic and. the first marine killed in iraq there was a guatemalan not a u.s. citizen.

pono died for like total died for a war that should never have been fought for a cause that never existed. and for an enemy that was never there. when total left here is a young adult he went to the states looking for a change in his economic status and he looked for a better job better life. what tona was always looking for was family ever since i took tone on being that seven years old he had this whole inside is hard that he was looking for family and it was it was it was it was bleeding in his heart because he was so. longing for his mother and for

a father who loved him for his sister who had gotten separated when i think tono fell for the whole idea of joining the marines and i'll be one be proud be you know fall in love will give you a family. not only was he one of the first americans to die his killed by friendly fire. tony was a very smart boy who was a genius i mean he really wants to know was a genius tono was creative thoughtful pensive he wrote poetry. one of the most incredible kids i've ever raised in raising eighteen thousand.

my concern. was to get this good looking kids' health back to get him back into school and to me it was obvious he was living on the streets get him off the streets. the boys every now and then as i've been raising them through all the years they say wouldn't it be great to go to the states and i say no you're not going to get a visa you don't have land you don't have bank accounts you don't have a job you don't have family they're not going to give you a visa make your future here. and i always discourage that because it's very very dangerous and once you're there you're going to get the dirtiest lowest paying unskilled jobs that nobody else wants make you future here right here in what. tono threw out to me a couple trial balloons that they were going to split and i said don't.

another couple trial balloons don't. know where his tone i haven't seen him for a couple days. he takes. he probably hitchhiked up to the mexican border illegally crosses the mexican border from guatemala into mexico and keeps going i. want to. say i know i'm in my office in bismarck north dakota and should my on line a comb my yahoo account. news flash first soldier killed was a quote i'm on or. hope i didn't know. click on a picture comes up good looking. for centanni of materials. i just sent back and even just got back a shock and you think. why did you do this why did you join the military why didn't

you ask me why did you get killed. losing another heartbreak the funeral is coming. i'm just elated from the funeral. i'm disinvited from the funeral. everybody he grew up with tonal who knew tonal would friends of tonal nobody's let him play who's a total funeral. dignitary say oh so people from the ambassadorial circle ministers officials the government people people who didn't know him. they were friends on behalf of precious little george w. bush and they have already full a show that is well over two percent you were different to forgivable last year was natural sation given in recognition of your brother's bravery and the sacrifices healing for me. now i'm thinking

there's. flash of anger isn't thinking you know mr ambassador. that's right i raised this boy and you're telling me i can't go to my son's funeral i've got a file of letters that have sent to you in which this boy is calling me dear daddy dear papa you don't love your son tony. if you're disinviting me from this funeral . in god's name are you. saying.
