HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES. ThursdaT. Mot M. 1971 War -Past, Present and Future Confronted on Eastern Tour Put Brindle, unknowingly and m.inti'niloniilly came face-to i.-ti-e with the aspects of war u'ur nf ih iinst. present future during her recent 18 day May In the Knst. ivtini was intended as a fam ilv visit to uti'i-l tho arrival of a new granddaughter ana to tour tho various points 01 in n-fiultcd In an Interest inw. fast oared and somewhat disillusioning exiMTlenco. Mr. Brindle stayed with her M.n -In-law mid daughter. Capt. and Mrs. I-onnle Myers and their daughters at Quantlco Mn-lne Hase in Virginia. Capt. Myers is in Amphibious War fare training and uon comple tion will he stationed In Okin awa for a year. Jacqule, his wife will move her lamuy onm to Oregon during this time. Mrs Krindle's third granddau ghter, Gal.rklle Lynn arrived May 1 t join Amy Beth 3, and Nlrhole, 2. Wur of the past was exhibit I'd throughout the various mu scums vislletl In Virginia dis playing relics of the Civil War. Historic Landmarks dotted the Kredrlcksburg and Manassas Battlegrounds commemorating tho century -old conflict. The lour of Mary Washington's home recalls the Revolution as his mother's residence was where George Washington re sided before he took office as the nation's first president. Impressed with the lovely landscape and dense vegetation, Mrs. Brindle observed tne ma pie, oak and tulip trees and the fragrant blooming dogwood and cherry trees as she toured the area. The Arlington cemetery was among the most notable tours with the changing of the guard and the Grave of the Un known Soldier from World War I. The constantly visited graves of Robert and John Kennedy brings to mind yet another war, the war of the present the Vietnam war. Present The effects of this war and the movements resulting were dramatlcully illustrated as Mrs. Brindle toured Washington, D. C, on April 23. Her disillus ionment stemmed from the ac tivities as thousands of war protestors arrived for the May Day Anti-War Demonstration. If the protest was for peace, Mrs. Brindle observed this was not the tempo of activity dis played by the participants. The lack of respect for a nation's heritage was regretfully made clear by tho complete disorder garbage and litter were strewn everywhere, property was destroyed, public offices forcibly occupied, fences and benches were burned, vehicles were abandoned and tires slash ed. Ecology movement slogans were Ignored as barrels of gar bage were hurled Into crowds which Mrs. Brindle observed was too much for the sanitation department who attempted clean-up. Benches around the Washington Monument were up rooted and burned. Therefore, most landmarks were closed to the public during this time. All this completely dlscourug cd Mrs. Brindle from n return trip to the nation's capitol. She had observed tne activities oi only a partial number of tnc thousands which were to arrive for the demonstration, Intent on stopping the functioning of the government. Future A thought provoking "demon stratlon" of another sort served as a blatant reminder of war, new graduates of the armed services training programs face In their future. This demonstration, appropri ately called "Mad Moments" is put on each year by the grad uating Marine Lieutenants at Quantico. A battle sponsored by the American Ordinance Ammu nition Company is simulated using live ammo. Mrs. Brindle along with ap proximately 1000 spectators was required to wear helmets and forbidden to leave the stands during the two-hour, nighttime program. The area becomes a battle front with the Marines firing flares and rifles; napalm bombs exploded; tanks, fighter Jets and medivac helicopters used The entire operation is narrated and the communications be tween foxholes is broadcast leaving the audience feeling as if they had actually been through a battle. When recounting her exper iences, Mrs. Brindle commented she would like to return to the nation's capitol, but NOT dur ing a war-demonstration. i ?ns 1 I -i- . . . 1 m m mtmrnmrnm 2r 1 ,.. 1 , 1 ( . . iu' mi . f ' ' .
