Scott Olsen Interview in Chicago with Amy Goodman:



Olsen returned four of his medals at Sunday's antiwar march. When asked why he's joined the Occupy movement and is protesting against the heavily-policed NATO summit, Olsen says, "I am going to make every effort I can to show them that we're doing the right thing. No matter what they do to any of us, we've got each other's backs and we're going forward."


Just in case you hadn't seen this video, here is a good interview. They are sitting in a park and he describes his injuries, as well as being radicalized by working with the protests in Wisconsin. I love his pure spirit.

to Occupy.
