After the Bush speech of Jan 10, members of Veterans for Peace Chapter 101 and the Raging Grannies Action League joined forces to demonstrate with the theme: Out of the Frying Pan and into the Fire! We got news coverage from TV, print and radio and AP photos on Yahoo News.

The first is reminiscent of Iwo Jima photo, said one vet.

The Grannymobile made a stop at Palo Alto's VA Hospital before heading over to the Mountain View location of our demo. New vet friend Tom Swann enjoyed the Granny ride!
