IN 1962, a group of San Francisco veterans of World War II and the Korean war, knowing that the Vietnam war was looming, marched unofficially at the end of the annual Veterans Day Parade under the banner of “Veterans For Peace.”
The principal organiser was world-renowned poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti, who died on February 22 at the age of 101 at his home in North Beach, the literary heart of San Francisco.
The turning point in Ferlinghetti’s life came in late September 1945 as he walked the streets of Nagasaki, Japan, six weeks after an atomic bomb was dropped on the city by his country’s government.
