From Creations Magazine (online) August/September 2007 Issue
So Many Wars – So Little Learned “The wars we have fought since Vietnam, the ones we still fight today, suggest that we have not yet learned from our mistakes,” Larry Winters said to a church congregation this past March. He then read from a piece he called the Khe Sanh Address, a reference to the Gettysburg Address, written for the occasion as follows: ...

Two-front war By Bonnie Langston, Freeman staff 05/03/2007 A memoir by New Paltz Vietnam War veteran Larry Winters has elicited a ticker-tape parade of sorts, a celebration neither he nor his comrades in the war experienced decades ago upon their return home. The belated parade is a quiet one - a stream of readers perusing his "The Making and Un-Making of a Marine: One Man's Struggle for Forgiveness," the first published work by the New Paltz Millrock Writers Collective. ...

Poems of Pain Help Him Heal War's Trauma
"In the Spirit" Feature article Times Herald-Record
Monday, March 19, 2007 Washingtonville — Before Larry Winters began his speech yesterday, he asked everyone to stand, one by one, and call out the names of people they know serving in Iraq or Afghanistan. So, one by one, several dozen Unitarian worshippers at St. Anne's Episcopal Church called out, about two dozen names in all, including one response from a young man with short-cropped hair. "I know too many people to know just one," the man said. So Winters, a licensed mental-health therapist, poet and author, began. The silver-bearded and bespectacled New Paltz native spoke in a baritone voice that commanded, as his body shook. The author of "The Making and Unmaking of a Marine: One Man's Struggle for Forgiveness" had never before spoken about his work before a large audience, he explained to the Times Herald-Record. ...

From the Times Herald-Record March 22, 2007
Inspiring Article If we truly love our nation, our men and women in harm's way, we have to pray like never before to ask God to end this senseless madness. I know that this is actually on everybody's heart. We need the courage to speak out. We need to pray for our country, and for the entire world. Let us take Winter's example that through writing poetry and producing art, we all can make a difference. Often the deepest longing in a person's heart is best expressed in the different arts. Forgiveness is a power and not a weakness. I have tried to express this in various ways over the last 35 years. This is the only way to end all conflicts between nations and between people.

WINNING THE WAR WITHIN By Jude Treder-Wolff The devastating effects of war on a person's soul and mind are of particular urgency and resonance right now because of the current world situation with wars in Afghanistan and Iraq dragging on with no end in sight. On his website ... Larry Winters, BPS, LMHC, includes a disturbing statistic from the last major war that has stark relevance to our country at this time. "As of today," he writes, "over 100,000 Viet Nam veterans have committed suicide. It does not take much foresight to project what society will look like ten to fifteen years from now if we don't address the men and women returning home. Homelessness, suicide, battering, and joblessness will become more rampant, costing society financially as well as emotionally." ... [Full text of article] |

Letter to the Editor New Paltz Times Thursday, March 1, 2007 Larry Winters, Author of: The Making and Un-making of a Marine What do we care about these days? The amount of snow to shovel off the sidewalks? Where we will go out to dinner next weekend? Who we are not getting along with at work? How much it will cost at the supermarket when we go shopping? Do we want pepperoni or mushrooms on our pizza or the fact that the death count in Iraq is at 3,131 on February 18, 2007 and the causality list at 32,544, the US mill for making soldiers is in full swing? ...
