As my two friends and I were walking back to the parkade after the protest, three Vietnam vets stopped us and asked us if we thought we had done any good that day. We struck up a conversation, and one of the vets traced the large peace symbol on my bag that holds all my protest signs. He asked me if I knew what the symbol was sometimes called. I asked warily if it had anything to do with "footprints" and he smiled and shook his head.
"We called that the 'Freedom Bird'", he said, still tracing the large outline. "See the nose of the plane, and the two wings pointing down? We knew the Freedom Bird would come fly us home. And we knew that the protesters had our backs."
