Vietnam Vets Will Be Active Participants In May Day Docks Antiwar Protest - 04/29/08By Doug Cunningham [Fyten]: 'ILWU moves cargo – the boxes. Well I told them I was tired of bringing boxes home with bodies in ‘em. It’s time to speak up for what’s right." Vietnam vet and ILWU Local 10 member Steve Fyten; he's one of the west coast dock workers who will stop work on May 1st to protest the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. [Fyten]: "I am patriotic, but I’m patriotic to do the right thing. Bein’ patriotic doesn’t mean that you support a war that’s not right. Our sons and daughters are gettin’ killed over there. That’s not being patriotic. I think bein’ patritotic is when you stand up and say what’s right.” Posted 04/28/2008 - 3:56pm | 192 reads
