Veterans to Protest In March on Capital
At least 5,000 service veterans are expected to participate in a protest against the war in Vietnam. April 19 to 25 in Washington, D.C.
The five-day demonstration is being planned by a national organization known as Vietnam Veterans Against the War
In a March newsletter, the group called their action an "assembly on Congress, the First Council, the Branch and the Fourth Estate, by the code name 'Dewey Canyon III.' The protest will also commemorate the two previous presidents of the United States' Dewey Canyon II in which a U.S. Marine regiment invaded Laos for a week in February-March 1969, and 'Dewey Canyon II,' the original code name for the war.
Veterans' unemployment, the Veterans Administration hospital system and U.S. war crimes also be objects of the protest
Former GT's, servicemen and their supporters will march along Pennsylvania Ave., from Arlington National Cemetery to the Capitol. The marcheers "will be returned, in a body bag, to Congress," according to the newsletter.
The organization said its supporters include General Daniel Dayton and the U.S. military command. In addition, U.S. senators George McGovern and Edward Kennedy are to meet with the protesters to accept their demands.
The group said that the demonstration would be peaceful and that they are applying for a seat in the court. The group are refused, "all Dawey Canyon III" participants will be fully paid and will be at the discretion of the individuals who wish to continue the original plan of action," the group said.
David Clements, Overland Park pachomore and VVAW member, said Thursday that he had been informed by the group's
