6. Vets for Peace will be marching in the Phoenix Veteran's Day Parade!!!

Third year! I march along with my BF (Vietnam Vet). We try to be on our "best behavior" - no signs, no t-shirts with slogans, just banners and flags (US, peace signs, VFP banner). We walk alongside a flag draped coffin. This year we will include a cart with 104 pairs of boots for the 104 Arizonans killed in Iraq so far. This might be pushing the envelope, we'll see.

The reactions of the on-lookers is interesting. Lots of applause and peace signs, more than I ever expected. Also some "one finger salutes". For the most part those that disagree stand silently and just leer.
