Veterans For Peace in Ukiah.
A ripple of cynical laughter went through the 50 attendees of a recent Northern California Regional meeting of Veterans For Peace (VFP) in Ukiah when they were extolled to sign up for “The Brad Plan” – a facetious reference to young Private Bradley Manning, now entering his third year in prison for blowing the whistle on U.S. war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan. Ukiah VFP chapter 116 has hosted all three annual regional conferences, but this is the first one to be attended by the top officers of National Veterans For Peace, based in St. Louis, MO. Speaking at the March 1st to 3rd gathering of 13 chapters was National President Michael Reid, former Air Force, who was involved in the first bombing of Libya in the 1980s; and National Executive Director Patrick McCann, who, at age 60, is one of the youngest veterans of the Viet Nam War. Also in attendance was Gerry Condon, VFP national board member and VN war deserter, and Mike Thurman of IVAW (Iraq Veterans Against the War) and Courage to Resist, the principle organization in support of Bradley Manning.
