While it is important to honor all who serve America in so many ways, on Veterans Day, the day originally called Armistice Day to celebrate the end of WWI, the war America hoped would end all wars, we must especially honor the veterans who oppose war. John Kent, one of the Navy officers who refused to fly combat missions in Vietnam, writes in Juneau, Alaska’s daily paper about the soldiers in Alaska who published their own newspapers opposing America’s war in Vietnam.
Mr. Kent will participate in a roundtable discussion at the University of Alaska Southeast as part of events organized in conjunction with the display of the Waging Peace in Vietnam exhibit from November 11 - December 8.
