Our local,
We had a beautiful gathering today with several media out/ a photographer from St. Petersburg Times, cameramen from Fox local channel 13 plus WB channel 6 local and also a taped interviewer with WMNF community radio.....plus our VFP photograpger, Herb Snitzer, who will be up at Ft. Benning next week covering for "Peaceworks" . and be at the VFP meeting up there
....Thanks to Hannah Frisch for her work with local media/ and the news release!!!!
. We had a coupl;e of Vietnam Vets plus a Korean Vet, three WW2 vets, one Panama Vet plus peacetime vets from the fifties, and 80's and 90's.....our next meeting will be to formalize a chapter!
We had a beautiful spiritual ceremony circle surrounding the veterans memorial blesing the 4 directions, the 4 elements and corresponding military services, with a symbolic candle placing as we spoke our concerns and hopes. placing the candles on the memorial, with a burning of some herb not what you think, a chapparrell or sage?
also we had the download of the Iraq Veterans KIA list from VFP-NewMexico, and many of us read names from those fallen, placing the names at the base of the memorial and a plaque from Women in Black-VFP (thanks to Rosemary Gould)....after a few brief poems, plus a reading of the statement of purpose of VFP and further passing out of pamphlets. Hopefully some of this will get into onto the localnews media, will let you know, but just having them there, taking pictures and covering us made it feel worthwhile. It was the first time many of us had met, and so it was a coming together.
A closing prayer and all agreed the next gathering will to formalize a VFP chapter here. ( we are now chapter 119)
