This was a beautiful, solemn march organized by the Veterans for Peace. It followed their annual convention in Minnesota. This display of helicopters flying over the heads of our vets, many who suffer from PTSD was nothing short of criminal. Whoever decided on sending them knew full well that the sound and sight of those helicopters over their heads is the stuff of their nightmares. I know, I'm married to a Vietnam combat vet and proud member of the VFP and VVAW.
