Yellow Submarine

Some of the young people in the 60's and early 70's opposed the Vietnam War. Many dodged the draft because they wouldn't fight in a war they didn't believe in. Almost half a century has passed, since these special people stood up for what they believed. Their goal was to promote peace, love and end the war.

Traveling in retro is cool. Come on dudes and chicks lets take a trip back to the 60's and early 70's. When things were groovy! Let your hair grow.  

We're traveling back in a yellow submarine. All aboard!

This new generation of "hippies" had interest focused on music, psychoactive drugs, sexual freedom, creative expression, and politics. The Summer of Love became a important time period of the 1960s, as the free lifestyles and anti war demonstrations drew intense public attention.
