Trudy Maloney, left, and Ed Necker have been married for 23 years and participate in the peace protests together at the Eugene Library. Maloney has been an activist since she was a teenager and convinced Necker to protest after they met. Necker is a Vietnam War veteran and quickly realized that he was against the idea of war while he was serving. “War sucks,” Necker says. “My sign says ‘Vietnam veteran for peace’ and people respect and relate to that. I don’t believe in war; I believe in peace,” Necker says.
