Remembering Dave Cline


Last Sunday, January 8th, would have been Dave Cline's 65th birthday. Dave died on September 14, 2007, which was far too soon and in my opinion, Dave was a belated casualty of the war in Vietnam.

"In the 1960's an anti-war movement emerged that altered the course of history. This movement didn't take place on college campuses, but in barracks and on aircraft carriers. It flourished in army stockades, navy brigs and in the dingy towns that surround military bases. It penetrated elite military colleges like West Point. And it spread throughout the battlefields of Vietnam. It was a movement no one expected, least of all those in it. Hundreds went to prison and thousands into exile. And by 1971 it had, in the words of one colonel, infested the entire armed services. Yet today few people know about the GI movement against the war in Vietnam."
Vietnam vet Dave Cline was one of those organizers.
