Opinion: On Veterans Day, let's thank GIs in Alaska for their dissent

The University of Alaska Southeast and Veterans For Peace chapter 100 will host the Waging Peace in Vietnam exhibit Nov. 11-Dec. 15, 2022. As a graduate of the Naval Academy at Annapolis, ex-Navy fighter pilot and Vietnam Veteran, I will be part of the Roundtable Discussion at 1 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 12, in the Egan Wing of the UAS library. This will offer an opportunity to revisit Alaska’s Vietnam-era GI antiwar activity, which was quite extensive, as it was at almost every American military base in the U.S. and worldwide. Did you know that there were at least four underground antiwar newspapers published by GIs at U.S. military bases in Alaska? There was also a Native American paper by soldiers at Fort Lewis in Tacoma, Washington. While a bit south of Alaska, it spoke for all Indigenous GIs, many of whom came from Alaska.
