Viet Nam war army veteran, Lou Pumphrey* stands with a peace flag, and poses with greyhounds Karma and Cassius. A very pissed off guy looks on. Cleveland Cultural Gardens [click] had their annual One World Day, to-day. Their motto is, "peace through mutual understanding". There is a large stone disc on a central plaza, on which they had those words carved. Lou marches with the Vietnamese group. He also marches in other parades too. He is a Catholic peace activist. The pissed off guy scowled and stared while i was taking fotos, he wanted to give Lou a piece of his angry mind. He is a war vet too, and finds the flag disrespectful, and inappropriate to display here. Many people have a deep distaste for peace, and its advocates.
