Going against the war machine took an amazing amount of courage and I applaud you and celebrate you for it. I'm 56 and have protested war by going to rallies since the Vietnam war. My dad called me a communist and I replied, "I'm TWELVE, and I'm Jill." I hope this set the bar and it keeps raising til the war industry collapses. Hooray for your victory (sort of)!
