Al Larson a Vietnam War veteran, attended NO Kings rally in Bangor as a member of Maine Veterans For Peace. He was interviewed by Grace Bradley of WABI 5.
“Veterans for Peace is a worldwide organization, actually, with chapters in other countries as well as Vietnam. But we try to take part in any demonstration in any state, all 50 of them,” Larson describes. “Just to support the idea that democracy is something we need to be careful of. It’s very fragile. And unless the people in this country support it, we may end up a chance of losing it.”
