I then lived in Omaha Nebraska and was not surrounded by liberal friends but I had to do something because I felt so strongly that this was wrong. So I found a bus that a few people had reserved to take people to DC and decided I must go. I was 56 years...
I marched with my wife and my son in this event. I had been reading how we were being led into this invasion with lies and knew I couldn't stand on the sidelines and not lend my voice and body in this protest....
