73830A single-sided flyer for a GI Teach-In held Saturday August 10 1968 at Provo Park in Berkeley California. The flyer features a black and white photographic image of a weary soldier leaning against a tree and smoking a cigarette with the caption: Bring Him Home.<br/> <br/> The program for the event advertised G.I. speakers Vietnam veterans an open mic and bands. The flyer states: "During the April 27th Mobilization Against the War servicemen from bases throughout the Bay Area participated in the antiwar actions. This was the first time that active G.I.'s joined with students to protest the war. We must involve these GIs we must encourage their opposition; they are being sent to kill and be killed in a senseless war."<br/> <br/> The event was hosted by the Student Mobilization Committee which was formed in 1966 to coordinate opposition to U.S. involvement in the war in Vietnam among college and high school students. Originally named The Vietnam Day Committee the SMC organized protests on campuses and in various cities and was one of the first groups that included both soldiers and civilians.<br/> <br/> Coverage of the GI Teach-In appeared in the Berkeley Barb Volume 7 Issue 7 August 16-22 1968: "'I've learned two things in Vietnam' said the veteran 'war is hell and the Army sucks.' That was the basic theme of the GI teach-in held last Saturday in Berkeley's Provo Park. The mike was open only to soldiers or ex-soldiers and it had a constant flow of users from the audience. After opening speeches by Don Duncan and some newer faces including Ron Alexander ex-special Forces Dennis Steele ex-101st Airborne and Airman First Class Michael Locks the mike was thrown open. It remained occupied for several hours.Speakers reported that in Vietnam the mood of the soldiers has changed drastically from the early days. Now NCO's and below can denounce the war policy in front of an officer who will at the most turn and leave. All of the speakers agreed that it was of prime importance to give soldiers some indications of support in their antiwar views both on base and off."<br/> <br/> This scarce piece is photomechanically reproduced on a 11" x 8 ½" sheet of white paper which is a bit toned with a one-inch closed tear along the right edge; otherwise very good. unknown

73826A double-sided flyer explaining the purpose of peaceful vigil in support of nine Vietnam War deserters who were arrested by military police on July 17 1968 inside Howard Presbyterian Church in Marin City California where they were chained to priests. "Nine for Peace . who the hell are they" the flyer reads. "Nine guys who went AWOL and then decided they didn't want to hide anymore or be sent to kill someone or be killed."<br/><br/>Photomechanically reproduced on an 8 ½" x 11" sheet of goldenrod paper the flyer sought financial support for the conscientious objectors. The verso of the undated flyer lists the names of the nine men and their status. For example Chuck Jones George Dounis and Keith Mather were being held in the Presidio stockade: "They've tried to fight inside as well as out. Some of them won't wear a uniform. Some won't do KP. So far they've gotten visitors: clergymen lawyers and sometimes relatives but there are no guarantee about future visits."<br/><br/>Mather then a graduate of Capuchino High School in San Bruno told the San Francisco Examiner he left the service because "I am opposed to the war and I don't believe in killing my fellow man. I was forced by being drafted to compromise my ideals."<br/><br/>It's estimated that approximately 50000 American servicemen deserted during the Vietnam War and many more avoided the draft by migrating to Canada and Sweden where they were given asylum. In fact there were so many deserters that President Gerald Ford established the Presidential Clemency Program on September 17 1974 offering Vietnam-era draft evaders and military deserters the opportunity to return to American society without criminal prosecution under certain conditions.<br/><br/>Some light wear and a bit of toning; otherwise very good.
