The protest was led by Mike Sanger, an Iraq war veteran who along with two other veterans recently started the Kansas City chapter of a national organization called Iraq Veterans Against the War.
“Everybody needs to be united to put an end to this madness,” said Sanger, who was dressed in desert camouflage pants, a black T-shirt and a desert boonie hat.
Metaphor 
Isn't it the Veterans for Peace that do the memorial at the beach?They also show films and support anti war proclamations. These folks really know the ravages of war, and what a thankless job it is being in our military.How about amnesty for all the illegal Mexicans, Indians, Arabs, Chinese,etc? Do you deliberately ignor this issue?
hmm… perhaps those who wage war, yet have never seen combat, might learn something from those veterans who have? just an idea.
