Private Danny Chen would have turned 20 years old on May 26th. Sadly, his life was cut short when he was just 19 years old, following weeks of constant mistreatment and discrimination by his superiors while stationed in Afghanistan. Support our friend at OCA-NY.Org for their campaign to send a birthday card to Private Danny Chen!
The community’s response to Danny’s tragic death has continuously secured more just outcomes in his case. Most recently, it was announced that any court-martial of the 8 soldiers charged in connection to Danny’s death would take place in the US at Fort Bragg, NC. Justice has yet to be served, however, and we need your help with the next step:
1) Create a birthday card for Private Danny Chen.
• You can create your own card, buy a card, or email oca-ny@oca-ny.org for a sample template. Be as creative as you can!
• The messages on these cards should reflect our continued fight for justice and reiterate our demand that the courts-martial of the 8 individuals take place on U.S. soil.
2) Mail your card to OCA-NY, P.O. BOX 3233, Church Street Station, New York, NY 10008. We must receive your card no later than May 21, 2012.
3) Prior to mailing the cards to us, you may also upload an image of your card to this site, using the application below.
In mid-May, we will personally deliver your messages to Members of the Senate and House Armed Services Committees in DC.
Please don’t let Danny’s tragic death be forgotten, and don’t let his case fall through the cracks.
