Put Your Marching Sneakers On… Armistice Day For Peace Saturday November 11, 2017


It is that time again. Every year for well over a decade we have had our Armistice Peace March behind the “official” Veterans Day parade in Boston. We continue that tradition this year as well.


Meet at the Corner Of Beacon Street and Charles at the far end of Boston Common at Noon


We will form up at the corner of Beacon Street and Charles at the edge of the Boston Common at noon for an approximately 1 PM step off. (Depending when the “officials” step off.) We will have flags, banners, etc. but you can bring your own posters especially this year around the war clouds forming over North Korea and Iran.


Armistice Day Program starts at Sam Adams Park in Fanuiel Hall at about 2:00 PM


After the finish of the march at City Hall Plaza we will walk across the street for our Armistice Day program at Sam Adams Park at Fanueil Hall from about 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM. This year’s MC will be our Smedley Butler Brigade-VFP coordinator Vietnam veteran Dan Luker. We are lining up speakers knowledgeable about the impending war clouds over Korea and Iran and the long continuing ones over Afghanistan. We will have music, poetry and other speakers. As usual we will have our canopy up where you can purchase VFP clothing, media, and buttons.    


See you all on Saturday November 11th at noon at Beacon and Charles –thanks- Executive Committee-Smedley Butler Brigade-VFP
