War is Not Healthy for Children and Other Living Things


During the late 60’s I proudly wore this patch on my bell-bottom jeans, sewn near the hem for all to see. I also had the pendant that I wore most days but I’m not sure what happened to it after all these years.

It’s been fun to be in vintage shops and see this same patch show up or to see young people wearing it once again. It’s also been very sad to realize that forty years later it’s been resurrected because another village idiot has gotten us into another senseless war.

I need to find that pendant. And then hope that when I put it away this time, no one will have the need to wear it ever again.
