<DIV><FONT size=4>I just want to thank Jim Rine for organizing our march in the
parade today. It was an amazingly uplifting event. I was so
surprised at the thousands of people at this parade, and how well Vets for Peace
and MFSO were received. I would estimate that easily eighty per cent of
the people supported us. They cheered, saluted and gave us the peace
sign. Two people in uniform joined Vets for Peace and marched with
them.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=4>I was steeling myself to be cursed and have thing thrown at
us. There was some negative response, but nothing like I was
expecting.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=4>I think this really shows how the tide is turning about the
war. We've got to keep up the pressure!</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=4>Thank you Jim, this was such a good idea and a
wonderful way to get our organizations names and ideas out to
thousands of people. I think it was a good idea to limit the signs to
support for soldiers, their benefits, Vets, DU, and getting out of
Iraq. It kept the focus of getting out of Iraq, the injustices of the war,
and still allowed people to celebrate Veterans Day.</FONT></DIV>

drum and marching with us!</FONT></DIV>
