March on the Pentagon: Saturday, March 17, 2007
Mar. 22nd, 2007 | 06:29 pm
War veterans from the right and war veterans from the left converged on Washington DC March 17th 2007 to rally their strong beliefs for and against war and peace.

The anti-war rally planned by ANSWER coalition to mirror an anti-war protest that marched to the Pentagon 40 years ago was met by a grassroots group of counter protesters called The Gathering of Eagles. The counter protesters were motivated by rumors that anti-war protesters would be defacing war memorials and more specifically the Vietnam War Memorial. Although unknown why these rumors started, it was said they were created by the pro-Bush, Pro-war rightwing agenda pushers to inspire a large turnout of Vietnam war vets to counter the anti-war rally. There were at times very heated confrontations but at no time did I witness any violent clashes.

Speeches given my Cindy Sheehan and more specifically Carlos Arredondo were very moving. I wrote an article about my first meeting with Carlos back in September of 2005. If you’re interested in learning about Carlos and his experience of losing his son in Iraq, please read HERE. Carlos has a beautiful way of looking at the world and understands the reason people are the way they are, I was very inspired by his story and I’m sure you will too.

Below are 32 photographs I took to document this event. If you’re interested in viewing them at a larger resolution you can click on over to my deviantART or Flickr galleries.
