A Quaker and Three Marines 

by Gallia Taranto
Scarsdale Friends Meeting

 

I became a Quaker after the United States declared war in Iraq. At the time I was surrounded by several people who were pro- troops, pro-president, and pro-war. I found the Quaker Peace testimony and other testimonies very helpful and, little by little, I became a member.
