a camel. on but i don't think using. those people demonstrating that shit they're just great structure our country once again certain for that kind of people that need to get out of here and go live with their tears for all i care. because i said. what what are they doing to people to troops that are just going home where they don't know that they're saying you know what you guys what you're doing wars bad when all we're doing out there is trying to go out there and make a difference trying to help trying to trying to make so we can live here trying to make so people don't come here and kill innocent people both buildings so we're trying to do. that still like they're just saying you know what. that's how it. just this is. i'm no i've never actually thought about this subject before so i can say really have an opinion. or neutral stance. what are we good american people we just go about our business like nothing. i tell now i don't have an
1:35 pm
opinion because i don't listen to the news so i don't know anything about iraqi except that we're over there yeah but you know how you don't care like it one way or the other and now after the roster. come back. we can start a discussion or they would. certainly be very. busy doing this big protest you're sacrificing all this time and it's new. things with and some people might think that really. don't think a lot of people have a connection like how fast people dying. in a market correction call. in the car seat back turned on the radio an attack outside of baghdad another choppers down by troops didn't have been the center of the town. the evening news comes on

1:39 pm
i knew he wanted to quit because he wanted to be a good dad and he wanted to be there but i also knew that this walk is why he was a good guy as he said well. he walk in we get a circle of people walking toward where the war is coming got up the next day and was. thinking that maybe that would be bluster the good of the war i was really happy that he could get up and he can blocking even though he was scared that ants
1:40 pm
and devastated with the news. i was charged trophyless comes for a possible total sense of one hundred fifteen years so with good behavior i'd be getting out of two thousand. when i realized that the war was wrong or both at home which i realized for i would think the earliest sections of the not papers i felt what i could do was expose twenty three years of lies on some princes of truth and that it might help the solution from home for war but started it with seven thousand top secret pages they would have to the full extent of the law against me and that there would be basically a life sentence. that's what nixon headed mind to put i just thought it might help and i was ready to go to prison if it might help i told him again blacklisted for
1:41 pm
the rest of your life it will be on your record for college and. at that point he said well that case and it will be that i'll be sitting in prison in iran now that i did not order my hands are illegal is just i just wanted to people and you know serious flaws and i think it was a lot and have to evaluate what you're being told asked to. as the guardian will be goes around and even them at us and we didn't think it overloaded we're going to be a loaded gun here on campus this is it was a college joint right when they have loaded guns the guardsmen on the end of the line decided to not fire in the direction everybody else was but to turn ninety degrees and pick me off while i was running for cover and the bullet hit me in the the abdomen just below my belt and it knocked me through the ear and to the groaned like someone swinging a sledge hammer like a baseball bat and hitting you like
1:42 pm
a car she would have much more fluid near a landing on the ground i was shot a second time by a guardsman who testified in court that he knew had already been shot once and when they asked him so why did you shoot him he said well everyone else was shooting him . do you really think you can happen again yes i think i think it's just waiting to happen because it's been a long time yet so they can pull this stunt again and i believe it was a stunt i believe this was planned to stop protesting and the more the protest in this current now the more i look for it to happen and just skiers run koblick. is my hero and his example really got me into all of this. everybody he said once that there was a palpable turning point when public opinion really shifted against the war and it marked the beginning of the end of the vietnam war and he said that was kent state police and national park and i could discuss
1:43 pm
a little bit more sound at the border and in miles but i really wanted to walk through zionists and the native americans who live there consider the whole but it's. even the most amazing years when they came for the first explorers a truly this is god's first pope who is the speaker. sure enough the news guy spent nearly every summer more news than sorry murphy or so i could make more money for this on. this trip with a. bookie get everything started with the other people short of the weather god but he's still the bill if it was a good parents or a but there was some reasonable doubt. or some reasonable hope was sent to her parents who are clean for the. good sort of the bigger but you could make
1:44 pm
a difference this was worth so i think i just like the idea of no more bombs no more screaming no war. no more death stuff from like pawns in the nuclear warfare you clear north korea nuclear warfare my dad always gets around that nukes to me here. she seems good who wants to use russian better than more godfather. during the walk we kept getting e-mails from people that said you know i wish i could be here for i really can't is there any is there anything i can do and so on my sister in law got the idea that we have there representing everybody that one had to be there and. from all over the world from europe from the middle east from australia from china we got hundreds and hundreds of names and so much support from our setting out of the shoes of our previous years that are real reality for
1:45 pm
me there are certainly a lot of emotion to go through when you start reading names looking at names and believes and wonder in the story. when after an afghan can ask how much are coming out caracas martial and who aren't so great for a proper order for people better than such a good health promise lock. so great that they have thought that it had nothing nothing. i'm. never ever ever ever see this kind of. again they run at one hundred eleven closer now they will never have a grand kind of conquests they will never enjoy all of the great things start new turf provided. for us here and another of the first thing i said you know march on i really had to figure out the letter that remark to be we had could be thank you for the privilege i'm lucky to get marshall for reminding us from our duty.
1:46 pm
as a near the border i was excited i mean this is the slick in the bill walk and did it . in spite of the challenges. nobody believed the support he's this much of that has sold all those people back in washington d.c. with all the hearts of warmongers know the utah supports peace. that go to school. because they got caught up in the sixty's. right now just like a wonderful victory made of five hundred miles and it's going so well you into my family and all the wonderful people have told me to dogs walk almost every inch of it with me. i've never been prouder to be going right now some
1:47 pm
wonderful thing. but at least he's very much tempered by the sobering thought that the war was going. anyone wearing a baseball cap or you've got regarding take it off and place it over your left shoulder if you want to is not mandatory and then you want to slug you can slow the cap until taps is completely played and they can put it back on any questions. thank you. joe down in the buttons for peace walk in with offering to buy any food for back from. a good food show don't have to go over a new stuff for us we're going to go california with a. serious air
1:48 pm
tran's day and i would just like to thank. all of those that have served and all that are serving some of those the rahner are represented by don'ts my group conference near. the town my son came home this is a picture of him as he turned twenty one. it was his last birthday. today and i asked you all to help me carry my grief. because it's very hard to carry myself. and if we learn to grieve in the nation. i think that this will help until as a nation someone is neutrons day. we honor our own family in here. martin luther king said it comes when silence is betrayal
1:49 pm
a time comes like the time we're in right now at this moment. when anything other then raise your voice opposition to this. is a betrayal of this country that. the so don't take me to one side it's as big or to me wrong over. and. i had no idea that also there's room come a brick right in front of me and you just have this or somebody who's spent his life doing good things and i think there is no greater right here that should be part of the peace process right now him fall in bringing an end to this forest children are feeling this nation and committing ourselves to never allow that happening the iraq war in viet nam to ever happen again i told them that i'd seen before the fourth of july in iraq and it really made them happen in iraq you want to tell others here you'll remember them what are you i don't write here and i'm
1:50 pm
seriously at that point really feel like the whole interview can come full circle. that you're sitting in iraq. it was before the fourth of july about rome proving. inseam to how he dealt with the ghosts of war by protesting and he just hit it with such force and that's exactly what i needed to do. and so full in his example. because it's only. it's only reasonable that to listen to him as a vietnam veteran who's been in this real care for almost forty years it's in our or they call you my family and my friends and so forth it's. a good life you know on. thinking that. i'm driving right turn and all my equipment and so i can get out of the army the army offered
1:51 pm
me twenty thousand dollars reenlistment bonus in iraq so there's been one lump sum tax-free twenty thousand dollars after iraq and you come my loyalties can be abused and so while i still feel that my service is honorable and still full other people service is honorable i could not realized no matter how much money they offered me i just. shifts in numbers that we've seen recently says that it out in the towns like the rest of the country are starting to grow tired of the course turning to question the war and starting to question pushes the leadership of the war and it happened especially almost coinciding with marshall's walk and i don't i don't know how many utahns are still himself swayed to the other side it's certainly wasn't just the work but there are tons of other people doing things there's no three families speak out in very active in salt lake there's rocky anderson and the norwalk is part of that so it feels really good.
1:52 pm
game just. to see. the children. and. i have to call attention to that dark angel and i mentioned you have to be prepared to accept the wrath of the governments force and as long as you're willing to do that and you do it but i need you to do everything you possibly can you give them your body you know and then you do it nonviolent they do it lovingly hell i even try to deal with a sense of humor you know it's no big deal searching. and saying. nothing is going to change somehow it guys coming home except from a pat on the back as soon as guys come home and say you know don't pat me on the back because things got change we got it's be a fix this from things will change in
1:53 pm
a different scrutiny now i could hear prettier it was trying to change things or not i just had to do it i got to do it. i just me oh i think it's maybe it's like spit in the ocean you know. it's yours you do it you care and you have to make your own statements from your own heart. and i still my. when i'm down in high school. she pre-sleep she's a sickness in store and this time. push will bring in our brothers sisters home piper peaks march for peace to stand for peace and. to play a game from. the kids a time of hope a time to believe that peace can come that we can end this war that we can change the priorities of our country that we can move in a minute when dynamic direction that we can make this an america that we can all be
1:54 pm
proud of that the sacrifice of our young men and women in iraq a must not be undone by to. the only regret. is that i didn't do it for at least. the sooner the twentieth the walk. but to finish up the hope it's a good idea i didn't know what to expect when i got involved in the peace corps standing here for peace to excite it really renewed my faith in people and humanity and it's really reinforced my patriotism activists have a lot of different reasons for getting involved but in the end it all comes down to this it comes down to the hope that what you're doing the community will a better place to make it mean you can save your life. because. what we're doing could save one person's life and that justifies all the embarrassment all the
1:55 pm
sacrifice all the pains of doing public protest. to children. that it's all worth it. in that's the whole point it's the sincere hope and conviction that nobody else has to. offer you here. no they. like to say i did step back from a record three months ago. that i was going provide food for the state utah. let me give you more to come to the nation's capital because i like that really really does look like her and i think the same i feel same.
1:56 pm
until it's too. soon least susan see. the pump. she. may. be pumped.
1:57 pm
