At the Salt Lake City October 27 mobilization rally, original Utah VVAW member Larry Chadwick spoke to a crowd of 1,000 at the city county building. Also present were chapter members Rick Miller and Gene Barrett holding banners with Veterans For Peace and VVAW.
The VVAW chapter in Salt Lake City recently renewed the treaty of support of the American Indian Movement (AIM). Holding the sacred pipe are Vietnam vet, VVAW activist and Choctaw native Gene Barrett, along with AIM activist Gene Thunderhawk. The organizations plan a joint action on Columbus Day in October. Thunderhawk participated in Wounded Knee in 1973. VVAW
members covertly supplied AIM with supplies during the 73-day siege.
