The Annual Post-Memorial Day Anti-War Song Program

(Introduction by the Lost and Found Radio Theater of the Airwaves, as Uncle Bob explains to Little Timmy that the proven best way to stop a war is to get a guitar and sing anti-war songs...).

The best way I can think of to support our troops is to “bring ‘em back alive”.
The best way I can think of to overthrow an evil regime is to register and vote.
You could also try the guitar thing- couldn’t hurt...

Peace- Larry the M
