Monday, June 6

15 of us by the half hour - good to have a strong turn out.  Two dogs for peace were there as well.  Ice cream bars for the early birds!  Some conversation about what "support the troops" means.  Some of us think that we do not support "troops".   We support peace.  what if there were troops of people engaged in non-violent work?   many friendly waves punctuated by one angry single finger salute; prompting a comment that he's the the person we are there for not those who support us.  By seeing us the angry man is confronted by different ideas and opinions.  I think we are also there for those who believe in peace - the steadfast presence of the vigil affirms their position.
