Day Two: Columbus!



Rosa rolled into Columbus around 11:45am and she brought amazing weather along for the ride! We did the talk for a small but passionate crowd. There was a wife of a physically and mentally wounded Iraq war veteran in the crowd who had many questions. The cost of war for her has been very high in a direct way. We also had two local celebrities in attendance!! Bet & Jim Steen have been doing anti-war work for MANY years in Georgia. Jim is a WWII combat vet. After the talk Jim and Jason shared some time together to process the horrors of war and they allowed me to tape it. It’s honestly some of the most intense footage I’ve ever seen! Ever! I will figure out a way to post it.

We hit the road for Milledgeville. After we arrived Kim & Noah (local activists) took us out for a night on the town, Georgia college style-yikes! Before the night was over Kim and Jason performed their version of dueling banjosJ.
