Tonight at 8:00 pm (check your local listings for the time in your area) on CBS, 60 Minutes II will be airing a segment on Camilo Mejia, a 28-year-old Florida National Guard Staff Sargeant who did not return to Iraq from R&R leave. Camilo has taken a public stand of conscience against what he calls an illegal and immoral war, and has filed an application for conscientious objector status.
We recently received a call from Camilo’s mother, Maritza Castillo. She told us that Camilo is now being held at Ft. Stewart in Georgia, where he is charged by the Army with desertion. He will be tried by a Special Court Martial, and can receive one year in prison and a Bad Conduct Discharge.
Maritza is asking you to write two letters: one to Camilo expressing your support and another to the Commanding General asking that the Army accept Camilo’s conscientious objection application.
Camilo’s Address:
Ssg. Mejia Camilo
A Company USAG MED-HOLD 865
Hase Road
Ft. Stewart, GA 31315
The Commanding General’s address:
Major General William G. Webster, Jr.
Commanding General, Fort Stewart
42 Wayne Place
Ft Stewart, GA 31314
Thank you for helping this brave soldier and his courageous mother.
In peace,
Andrea, Bonnie, Carol, Claire, Jodie, Gael, Medea
