#PeteSeeger (appropriately on the left) on April 24, 1971, during the #OutNow anti-war demonstration. This was the day after #DeweyCanyonIII, when thousands of veterans tossed their medals over the Capitol's hastily erected fence. Can anyone identify the other two singers?

The "DriveByShooting" images are photographs taken from inside a moving car. These two were constructed from photographs taken as I drove down Penn Avenue. The bridge in #2 is in the center of #1.

Our country is not the only thing to which we owe our allegiance. It is also owed to justice and to humanity. Patriotism consists not in waving the flag, but in striving that our country shall be righteous as well as strong.

I was passively a "fortunate son" in college then, but I would have served had I been called. My cousin, Billy, did not claim bone spurs and died in Vietnam.

I don't know anything about these machines, and there is no logo on any of the photographs. If anyone can identify them, I would appreciate it.
