her Recent Ploughshares action in the U.S.
On Sunday, May 25 2003 at about 4:00 PM the Riverside
Ploughshares group went aboard the warship USS
Philippine Sea. They poured their blood on the missile
hatches and hammered a message of protest on the
containers that hold Tomahawk Cruise Missiles. As they
knelt on top of the hatches, Mark Colville held up
pictures of Iraqi children who had been injured and
maimed by U.S. weapons. Mark read their statement and
Brian Buckley unfurled their banner which read,
"Riverside Ploughshares: Disarm and Choose Life."
Sister Susan Clarkson and Joan Gregory were together
with Mark and Brian in this vanguard protest.
