After Alex was killed in Iraq, my ex-wife told me that he didn’t want to go back. Alex never shared that with me even though I guess I sensed it. I wouldn’t have known what to tell him. If I had known about Courage to Resist, Alex might be alive today.
Carlos Arredondo’s son Marine L/Cpl Alex Arrendondo was killed in action on August 25, 2004 in An Najaf, Iraq.
“Courage to Resist has helped individuals who have taken brave stands, has been an important bridge between anti-war soldiers and civilians, and has helped both publicize and build the critical component of soldier resistance in ending war.”
