People came together on the streets of Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Washington to share their passion and beliefs.. "Get the Troops out of Afghanistan and Iraq"  This Anti- War/Peace protest  was held in the heart of Hollywood.The protestors gathered at Hollywood and Vine, rallied, and then marched to Grauman's Chinese Theatre where there was a second stage.  Anti-war speakers and local musician Bambu all stirred the crowd further. It is time to go out and make a difference.
I was fortunate to speak with Ron Kovic, author of "Born on the 4th of July". Paralyzed in the Vietnam war, he speaks against the tragedies of war from a first hand experience. His is strong in his conviction to stop the war and bring our troops home from Afghanistan and Iraq. Ron is not a bitter man. He shares his thoughts and heart freely. He is making a difference and will continue to fight the fight against war.
As I stared at a sign of PEACE made out of bullets, I was made aware that staring at the same art piece was my fellow iReporter Marie Sager. We shared a hug and took in the magnitude of this rally. I had just returned back to town so it was Marie who let me know about the rally that morning.
