Hello
Smedleys, Samanthas and Friends,
Please
see the attached two photos taken by the Boston Bulletin reporter.
1.
Picture of Smedleys gathered in front of Tony's former home.
2.
A Coast Guard sailer who broke ranks to come over and show his support.
A number of Army, Navy and Coast Guard parade participants came over and
shook our hands in support.
We got a lot of salutes and waves by veteran units and active duty
units.
It
was a fabulous day, a little cool but spirits were high.
Great
action, thank you to all who participated.
We
were in front of Tony Flaherty's former home for the entire three hour duration
of the parade.
Great
messages on the signs, surrounded by VFP flags, that caught everyones
attention.
Our
messages were clear, "stop the exclusion of Veterans For Peace in the
parade".
Police Commissioner Bill Evans when he walked by and shook my hand said,
"Next year Pat, next year".
Our position is for the City of Boston take back running of the parade
and make it open to everyone, especially all veterans.
Thank you, Erin Go Braugh
Saint Pats. Parade Committee
