March on the Pentagon: signs at the Lincoln Memorial (21 October 1967)
Demonstrators at the Lincoln Memorial carry a banner reading "PEACE" and signs reading "SUPPORT OUR G.I.'S BRING THEM HOME NOW!", "STOP THE DRAFT" and "LBJ WAR". One sign pairs support for servicemen with a demand to bring them home. Another prints the president's initials beside the word war.
