Staff Sgt. Camilo Mejia, I salute you
5.21.2004
Whatever the outcome of your trial, you should be recognized as an American hero.
When you went to war for our country, Sergeant Mejia, you didn't turn your eyes and brain off. You remained a man with a working mind and soul. And when the things you witnessed and participated in led you to the conclusion that you could no longer accept the orders being given you, you took a stand for your beliefs, accepting their possible consequences. For refusing to silence the qualms of your conscience, I believe you should be recognized, as an example of what is good in humanity.
