Having already walked 2500 miles since November 4, 2006, Bill McDannel is not a wide eyed kid with a naïve view of the world. A father of five and grandfather of four, he is a Vietnam Era Veteran and former Pastor of the United Methodist Church. He says, “I am only one person, and do not pretend to have the individual wisdom to dictate exactly what actions should take place as a result of a declaration of the end of the wars. In fact, this is the reason I am walking to Washington. I expect it will take me nine or ten months to walk from California to Washington, D.C., and I believe that the leaders who managed to figure out a way to get us into these wars in just a few months ought to be able to figure out a way to get us out by the time I arrive.” less
