Group battling to march for a cause

Peace has very nearly ­become a fighting word when it comes to the annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade in South Boston.

This Sunday’s parade — more precisely, who can march in it — has again pitted the Allied War ­Veterans Council, which runs the annual event, against Veterans For Peace, a group of former soldiers who hope to use the ­parade as a venue to promote alternatives to war.

Mumbles doesn't march because a slow waddle is the best he can do.

4000 people marching down the street with the scowls of righteous indignation on their faces...what kid wouldn't wanna hang out to see that?

The city's hands aren't tied..all the  Mayor has to do is stop the street cleaners until the days events are over.

Has anyone verified that these "Veterans For Peace" are really veterans?
