Veterans Stage ‘Eat In’ to Support Vandalized Iraqi Restaurant.
A group of veterans held an “eat-in” at an Iraqi-owned restaurant to show support for the eatery after a man threw a 20-pound building stone through the front window, frightening the family and raising fears that they were the target of a hate crime.
Some 40 to 50 vets – from World War II, Vietnam, the Korean war and the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq — turned up at the Babylon Restaurant in downtown Lowell, Mass.
For two hours, participants carried flags and signs reading “Stop Hate Crimes in Lowell” in front of the restaurant and filled the dining room many times over.
