The Bondwas an anti-war newspaper intended for soldiers that was initially started in Berkeley, CA. in June 1967 by editor Bill Callison.
In 1968, Callison transferred the entire property and rights of
The Bond to a staff of servicemen, veterans, and supporters led by the new editor, Pvt. Andrew Stapp. It was at that time that
The Bond moved from Berkeley to New York, N.Y. in care of the Committee for GI Rights. Eventually,
The Bond would become the voice for the American Servicemen's Union, an unofficial union for the U.S. military that was formed by
Andy Stapp in 1967 in opposition to the Vietnam War.
