The VVAW

The Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW) is a national veterans' organization that was founded in New York City in 1967 to advocate for the rights and needs of veterans, as well as voice the opposition growing from returning service members from Vietnam.
Steve Sober talks about his time in the VVAW, as well as his involvement in Operation RAW (Rapid American Withdrawal). It was a march from Trenton, New Jersey to Valley Forge, Pennsylvania.
