For 3 mornings a week, for the last 9 years, Joe Kerbatas has stood in the same spot in downtown Boston.

Joe wears a faded “Veterans for peace” t-shirt, florescent green sunglasses and a wide brimmed hat covered in anti-war buttons. He carries a home made sign, and for the most part you won’t see him shouting or chanting. Standing near by is Wayne, a guy down on his luck, who Joe calls a friend. They look out for each other.
