Forty years later, I am still paying daily
for the fabricated and unfounded mission
of carnage in which I had the misfortune
to participate.
As Vietnam wound down I found that the
ideas that I believed the United States
stood for, such as creating a more
peaceful world where differences would
be respected and the less fortunate
would be aided with food, shelter, and
self-worth, were not going to come to
fruition.
How dim the light of the 70's now burns. The greed, lies and manipulation implemented by our military/industrial complex had me paralyzed. My creative motivation had been weighed down by the massive misallocation of resources, energy, and human life that was practiced daily by the Bush administration.
I was in a tail spin as to what I could do to help steer my country toward compassion and peace, and away from the "bully on the block" mentality that was and is poisoning the entire planet.

As I searched for a light source I was
invited to the "Freedom of Speech" tour,
staged by Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young, in
August of 2006, in West Palm Beach.
The path of lighting a candle, instead of cursing the darkness, was born.
I want to make peace signs until this gross attempt to spread democracy with violence breaks down.
Because the current administration is slow in fulfilling their campaign promises , I feel the need to continue my mission. Thus, I feel that I am placing my love and understanding on a positive course, so that all who come in contact with these peace signs will experience a feeling of love, hope and family, and together we will journey towards a more peaceful earth.
Imagine, a world free from hate and the senseless need to control other human beings.
