NARRATOR: With the
Nine for Peace held in military prisons ...
soldiers
throughout the Bay Area began planning for the first anti-war

[Civilians,
Join the GI's and VETS MARCH FOR PEACE]
SUSAN SCHNALL,
U.S. NAVY NURSE: I was a member of the medical committee for human
rights.
We got together
a number of times and talked about how we were going to organize active
duty G.I.s to go to the peace demonstration.
And then I
remember also hearing about the B-52 bombers that were dropping leaflets
on Vietnam, urging the Vietnamese to defect.
And I thought,
well, if they can do it overseas, then we can hire a small private
plane, load it up with leaflets, and drop the leaflets on military bases
in the San Francisco Bay area.
