Photos from Anchorage peace demonstration...

[Blue_In_AK]

We met up at the veteran's memorial in Delaney Park Strip...

Our "leader"





Some speeches





Marching downtown



Singing antiwar songs in front of the historic courthouse



Outside the Fifth Avenue Mall after marching, chanting and beating drums right through the middle of it



More singing in front of Conoco-Phillips (great acoustics)




Altogether a FABULOUS day. For you Alaskans, there will be another demonstration April 30, on the 30-year anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War.
