and wonder I feel seeing this war end. I started my activism as an antiwar activist and went to grad school where I basically majored in Peace Studies. 9/11 occurred on my orientation day. It was spring break 2003 when Dubya invaded Iraq. It seems so long ago, and any dream that our never-ending wars might actually end had long since been trampled under TFG's immigration bans and deportations, inhumane treatment of refugee and asylum seekers - families especially, stirring up the KKK-types, etc. It's been a lot to endure, these last 20 years.

Anyway. This brought a tear to my eye and a little peace to my heart. Thanks for posting.
