My dear father, #DanielEllsberg, died this morning June 16 at 1:24 a.m., four months after his diagnosis with pancreatic cancer. His family surrounded him as he took his last breath. He had no pain and died peacefully at home. commondreams.org/opinion/dan…

At one point he said, if he were to have a gravestone, that he would say: "He became a part of the anti-Vietnam and anti-nuclear movement." By chance, my interview about him, for release this Father's Day weekend, was posted today. plough.com/en/topics/justice…

Your father was a hero. His words will live on to inspire generations and wherever there is truth, respectability and dignity a piece of your father will remain. Peace be with you and your family.

Awww…what a handsome photograph of him! So very sorry for your loss. Although you don’t know me, please accept my sincere condolences !

As an American male approaching graduating high school in 1971, I had an intense interest in the war until it was moot. By a fluke of the year of my birth I was spared the ordeal. I am sorry for the deaths of all those named on the wall and all the others who are not.
Our condolences, from a very grateful nation.

Sorry Robert. We enjoyed meeting you in Cleveland a few years ago when you spoke. Hope you return again. Peace to your father.
