WHERE: Bechtel's corporate office at 1015 15th Street, N.W., Washington, DC.

Join us on Thursday, September 28th, Iraq war veterans and their supporters will attempt to serve an eviction notice to Bechtel Corporation at their Washington, DC office. After a brief gathering in front of the 15th Street building, the vets will serve a notice that enumerates Bechtel's wrongdoing and demands that the corporation be immediately "evicted from the planet."
