I am in Canada, an escaped vietnam war era deserter from the US Marines. I was court martialed as part of that 2 yr experience in the corps from Jan. 69 to Feb. ’71, court martialed on a trumped up charge to punish me for wanting to be discharged as an objector of conscience, for coming to a position of opposition to Marines dying and dehumanizing in vietnam (and wherever else, God help us).

I know a thing or 2 about the nature of the beast, the US military Industrial complex that now controls the military in an even more direct way. It is really as bad as the documents gifted to the world by Brian Manning thru wikileaks show if one but just believed one’s eyes.

And probably worse.

I deeply and passionately support what Bradley has undertaken, and I owe a debt for having reacted in the way I did to what I knew, those 42 years ago.

So, I can’t make June 3, but perhaps later?

I am on collect a small disability pension and could use any financial help you offer.

Blessings and love for all that your doing

I would like to attend some of the events for this HERO. Additionally I have a large format printer that I could print up large banners on vinyl. My funds are li tied, but if you would pay for the paper I will print some banners for free. I can print up to 44″ wide and 40 feet long. In addition to vinyl I can print on canvas. If you have pictures, artwork or other items that perhaps could be sold I would be willing to do that. Photos printed on canvas end up being items that can look like museum quality work. Perhaps someone would like a stretched signed canvas of this American Hero, which we could sell. In addition I have some materials that I use that give the images texture and can make them look like artwork which could be sold or raffled. Please let me know if me and my printer can help you
