Teenage hero
of mine
rest in peace
Daniel Berringan
" In the years to come, well into his 80's, Daniel Berrigan was arrested
time and time again, for greater or lesser offenses: in 1980 for taking part in
the Plowshares Raid on General Electric missile plant in King of Prussia,
Pa., where the Berrigan brothers and others rained hammer blows on missile
warheads; in 2006, for blocking the entrance to the Intrepid Naval Museum
in Manhaten."
"The day after I am embalmed" he said in 2001, on his 80th birthday,
that is the day when i will give up."
