IMPORTANT !!! NEXT STEP IN THE CAMPAIGN FOR PAGAN VETERANS RIGHTS!

We need to request that both the Senate and House Committees on Veterans Affairs hold investigative hearings on this topic. Specifically request that hearing be held to look into the process of examining, granting, and refusing "Emblems of Belief".

To request such a hearing, it must be done IN WRITING. So, as many of us as possible, should write letters to:

Senate Committee on Veterans Affairs
# 412 Russell Senate Office Building
Washington D.C.
20510

AND THE
House Committee on Veterans' Affairs
335 Cannon House Office Building
Washington, D.C.
