Crosses with names of the victims
of SOA are placed on the fence of
Fort Benning

A good friend brought over a polish dish, a unique soup, to our house tonight for dinner. He also brought a delicious salad and some dark German bread to break up and put in the soup. Talking about gratitude yesterday this dinner reminded me of what I am so thankful for, good friends.

In a Diary of the Worm posting for 2007 I wrote about the Salad Bowl of Friends I spoke of the “nonviolent revolution of salad green friends!]]. My friend brought over a salad tonight with lettuce, tomatoes, nuts, olives, mushrooms, peppers and all kinds of good stuff. It was a good analogy to the “Salad Bowl of Friends”.
The next few days I will be at the School of Americas (SOA) Watch at Fort Benning, GA. For many years we gather to close the School of the Americas, a training base for soldiers of Latin America who commit human rights abuses, including murders, rapes and torture . It now is a gathering of friends from all over the USA and Latin America who are believe in the same values and are joined in solidarity with people of Latin America to close this School of Assassins (SOA).

Off to a gathering of friends, will be home Sunday.
