| Introduction | I'm a 71 year old Marine combat veteran of Vietnam ('67-'69). I was 18 when I went to war and returned as a CPL at age 19. I co-founded VVAW Denver chapter in '71 with national organizer Brian Adams and a third vet. It was the second rendition of VVAW in Denver. I've worked since my time in combat to end the insanity of war that kills our young. Ending war and bringing peace is only the first step. We also need justice for the poor and excluded. |

You've got to make contact with the alien leader. How will you tell when the conversation is finished?
Hell, I don't think we'd ever stop the conversation. We have a lot of catching up to do.
