Art Gish, peace warrior, died today
His tractor overturned, pinning him underneath, and then caught fire. He was killed.



Google "Art Gish" and read about a truly heroic and amazing man.

2. Yep, the red caps
The photo of Art has become almost iconic in certain circles. Tank on the left, Art on the right. Not a fair fight at all, but Art wasn't above pressing his advantage when he was fighting for peace and justice.
