    Nov.15,1969 GIs & Vets for Peace in Vietnam March on Washington to bring all the GIs home pinback button 2.5 Dia. The curl (edge) reads:
    Send contributions to: Vets for Peace 874 B Way, Room 504, NYC 10003

    Nov 15 1969 S.F. CA & Washington D.C. Anti-Vietnam War Demonstration Held the second Nationwide Moratorium against the War in Viet Nam, held on November 15, 69 in Washington DC. the 1st being Oct.15 1969

    The rally featured speeches by antiwar politicians, including Eugene McCarthy(D), George McGovern(D) and Charles Goodell(R). It also included performances by Peter, Paul and Mary, Arlo Guthrie and Pete Seeger, who led the crowd in the singing of John Lennon’s “Give Peace a Chance.” His voice above the crowd, Seeger interspersed phrases like, "Are you listening, Nixon?", "Are you listening, Agnew?", "Are you listening, Pentagon?" As part of aworld wide Vietnam war moratorium, the San Francisco Moratorium Peace March occurred on November 15, 1969. Large demonstrations occurred around the country and the world including 500,000 in Washington, D.C. on that day.
    President Richard Nixon said about the march, "Now, I understand that
    there has been, and continues to be, opposition to the war in Vietnam on
    the campuses and also in the nation. As far as this kind of activity is
    concerned, we expect it; however under no circumstances will I be affected whatever by it."

    I've been hunting for this rare to semi rare button for years at a reasonable price it comes up at auction 1 to 3 times a year and tends to sell for about $140.00 I was lucky enough to win this one just before Christmas (2015)
    Peace & a Happy New Year
    Have a GREAT 2016 ALL
