5:33 am
so clear not for reading and writing but your morning system and. i think there's a middle ground. and i think we agree on everything so i think you get everything up until the point of what will bring stability. and i believe that stability with your friends will drop off a small difference of opinion that's marshall himself yeah i have i have a lot in common with him i support a lot of his use but the people that i had an opportunity to encounter in the protest bush like kids die yada michael moore you know fahrenheit nine eleven it's things like that they're completely to the left and jaded but marshall i find him very you know very charming intelligence clean cut individual. no animosity for him you know and eventually yes i think if this were a perfect world we would be occupying iraq oh there was another counter protester bringing up the total counter protesters to three and he was a young kid he had to go to camouflage on but i don't think using.
5:34 am
those people demonstrating that should their district structure our country once again certain for that's ten people need to get out of here and go live with the tears for all i care. because i said. what what are they doing to people to the 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 make a difference trying to help trying to trying to make so we can live here trying to make sure people don't come here and kill innocent people while building. trying to do feel like it's still like they have a spin on it saying you know what. i tell it. just this is. i'm not i've never actually thought about the subject before so i can't say really have an opinion. or neutral stance. but if we do this american people will just go back our business like nothing's happened and i tell now i don't have an opinion
5:35 am
because i don't. listen to the news so i don't know anything about iraqis except that we're over there yeah they don't have you know like you might be out there now after the. combat. you can start a discussion or debate with someone who's. served to be very draining because you do this big protest you're sacrificing all this time and energy. with your other things with and so people might really. think a lot of people how they can actually like how people die and. in a market grab some coffee. in the car seat back during all the radio an attack outside of baghdad another choppers down by two a good man been in the center of the. evening news comes on
5:36 am
the t.v. . two marines if you plan to die each day attack because both good old dean. two marines are killed two families left to treat. how many are die overseas. in a war that misguidedly to the brain and the brain just coming in at name. waves began to move a grade. we're used to yank the whole way to free days day to quote good news the second week of walking. through. the snow but i'm going to get into a pickle trying to throw dirt on the building when they were. there forgotten is there dart was even a korean war the only color cookies for my moment my sister
5:37 am

5:38 am
walk but be over right now. i don't know for you yesterday was the. the latest word so do the ultrasound today. are so open and praying that would. eliminate cancer of the sisters. or some. but it was so deep you probably friends were. very start with this and she's from common. among. those i should be there those who for years. may need to be with us. sir as important as this one is so.
5:39 am
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. people walk in we get a circle and keep walking for them or discover got up the next day and walk. thinking that maybe that would be blustery a good the war i was really happy that he could get out and he could keep walking even though he was scared that ants and devastated with the news.
5:40 am
i was charged trophyless comes for a possible total sense of one hundred fifteen years ago with good behavior i'd be getting out of two thousand. when i realized that the war was. always at home which i realized for i would really is such a silly and on paper i felt that what i could do was expose twenty three years of life fines and prison treatments and that it might help to solution from a political bird started it was seven thousand top secret agents 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 had in mind too but i just thought it might help and i was ready to go to prison if it might help i told him again blacklisted for the rest of your life it will be on your record for the reply. and. at that point
5:41 am
he said well in that case and it will be that i'll be fitting and president before i ran out that i did not order my hands are illegal is just i just want to get people i know serious flaws taken by a lawyer and have to evaluate what you're being told asked. as the guardsmen will be goes around and even them at us and we do think it over loaded we're going to be loaded gun here on campus this is it was a college joint right why would they have loaded guns the guardsmen on the end of the line he sided should not fire the direction everybody else was but you turned ninety degrees and picked 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 into the ground with someone swinging a sledge hammer like a baseball bat and he was like a car she would have mentioned i flew him here and landed on the ground i was shot
5:42 am
a second time by various men 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 oh yeah i think i'm going to and 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 that protest in this current now the more i look for it to happen and just scares ron 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 seemed to have their support and i could have discussed the little bit more
5:43 am
thought at the border and in miles but i really wanted to walk through zion national park the native americans who live there considered a holy place. and even the more the players were making the first explorers a truly this is god's first this is a. you are not a news guy i spend nearly every summer morning news i'm sorry murphy or so i couldn't walk you through for me was on. this trip with the. key to everything started to change that a lot of people showed up the weather got but he's still the bill if it was a good cancer or not but there was some reasonable doubt. some reasonable hope this and her parents were clean from. the a good sort of the group again but you
5:44 am
could make a difference this was worth so i think i just like the idea of no more bombs no more screaming no more care no more get stuff from like bombs in the nuclear warfare you clear north korean nuclear warfare my dad always gets around that new clear. she seems good when she was rushed to the morgue on a trailer. during the walk we kept getting e-mails from people that said you know i wish i could be here for i really care is there any is there anything i can do and sound my sister in law got the idea that we have blues there representing everybody that wanted to bring their income. from all over the world from the air up from the middle east from australia from china we've got hundreds and hundreds of names and so much support that are setting out of the shoes of our
5:45 am
previous years that are real reality for me there are certainly a lot of emotion to go through when you start reading names and looking at names and beliefs and wonder in the story. why not find i think you ask how much are coming out caracas march an art style great for proper order for people better than sex or good health hotness rock. celebrate i've got a better class family i'm not. i'm. never ever ever ever see this kind of again everyone ever heard of them and close or not they will never have a grand kind of compost and they will never enjoy all of the great things start next year provided. for us here i remember the first day i said you know marcia green you have to figure. the letter that one wanted to be we had to be thank you for the privilege of lockheed which you would marshal for reminding us of our ability.
5:46 am
as a near the border i was excited i mean this is the city in the film walk and did it . despite all 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 and warmongers know the utah supports peace. that go to school to. become a got caught up in the sixty's. was like a wonderful victory made it five hundred miles and it's going so you into my family and all the wonderful people have told me it's a dog has walked almost every inch of it with me. i've never been prouder to
5:47 am
be utah and then right now some wonderful thing. because he's very much tempered by the sobering thought that the war was still going. anyone wearing a baseball cap are you coming out to take it off and place it over your left shoulder if you want to it's not mandatory and then you want to slug you can slow to keep 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 the afternoon didn't buy anything for breakfast. a good food showed out of the new stuff for us we are going to go california.
5:48 am
today is their chance today and i would just like to thank. all of those who have served and all that are serving some of those the rahner each day hari presented by don'ts my dream conference there. downtown 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 period myself. and if we were to grieve as a nation. i think that this will help until as a nation someone is neutrons day. we honor on the family unit here. martin luther king said it comes when silence is betrayal a time comes like the time we're in right now in this moment. when anything other
5:49 am
then raise your voice opposition. is a betrayal of this country that. it's neither one side. i want you to meet wrong over. and. i had no idea and also there's from quebec right in front of me you just have this or somebody who's spent his life doing good things and i think there is no greater right here that could be part of the peace process right now in all in bringing an end to this for students who are dealing mr nation and committing ourselves to memory wow what happened during the iraq war in vietnam to ever happen again i told him that i'd seen before the fourth of july in iraq and it really made him. direct you one of the cornerstone you'll remember what i like to write so yeah that's
5:50 am
a variation of that point really thought like the whole interview can come full circle. the. city interact. with warships for the fourth of july about road proving. then see how he dealt with the ghosts of war but protesting they just hit with such force and that's exactly what i needed to do. and so is following his example. because it's only. so reasonable that i had written to him as a vietnam veteran who's been in this real care for almost four years and it's an honor to call you my friend and my friend and so forth it's a. good life you know on. and. i'm driving down right now to go turn all my equipment and so i can get out of the
5:51 am
army the army offered me a twenty thousand dollar reenlist bonus in iraq so there's been one lump sum tax free twenty thousand dollars after iraq and you how my loyalties can be abused and so while i still feel that my service is honorable and still for other people service is honorable i could not realist no matter how much money they offered me i just. shifts in numbers that we've seen recently says that it could be tongues like the rest of the country are starting to grow tired of the course turning to the question of war and starting to question bush's leadership of the war and it happened especially almost coinciding with marshall slaughter and i don't i don't know how many utahns arsehole himself swayed to the other side it certainly wasn't just the walk but there are tons of other people doing things there's a military families speak out in very active in seoul that there is rocky anderson and the norwalk is part of that so it feels really good.
5:52 am
to see. the children. and. i have to call attention to that dark angel in their midst and you have to be prepared to accept the wrath of the governments force and as long as you're willing to do that if you do it no one but let me do everything you possibly can you give them your body you know and then you do it nonviolently you do it lovingly hell i even try to do it with a sense of humor you know it's no big deal searching. and saying that nothing is going to change to tell it guys which i went home except for the pat on the back as soon as guys come home and say you know don't count me on the back because things got change we got it's be a fix this from things will change in a different scrutiny now frederick was trying to change things or not i just had to
5:53 am
do it i got to do it. not just me oh i think it's maybe it's like spit in the ocean to know if it's yours you do what you care and you have to make your own statements from your own heart. and i still my. put him down he has made the person she pre-sleep she's a sickness in store this time. push will bring in our brothers sisters home fight for peace march for peace we stand for peace in the. morning from long. periods of time help hold a time to believe that peace can come that we can and just walk that we can change the priorities of our hearts that we can move in a new way to tell you narrative direction that we can make this an america that we can all be proud of that the sacrifice of our young men and women of iraq
5:54 am
a must not be undone by. the only regret. is that i didn't do it correctly i mean. the sooner the twentieth the walk. and i. got to finish up the hope that it's a good idea i didn't know what to expect when i got involved in the peace corps standing here for peace still looks like 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 under the hope that what you're doing to commit the world a better place and we can maybe even save a life. because. what we're doing could save one person's life and that justifies all the embarrassment of the sacrifice all the pains of doing public
5:55 am
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. are you going to. no a day. like this i didn't step back from a record three months ago. and i was going with my case part of my youth off. their new block to come to the nation's capital a suicide like that really really goes to exploit a sense of sight. until
5:56 am
it's clear. the sun comes. sun mr c. . om pump. higher. plain. dumb. isn't.
5:57 am
to. load the home. try. to move. commutes or. say. people. should. see. some.
