Peg Mullen
Margaret E. Mullen (née Goodyear; June 11, 1917 – October 2, 2009), best known as Peg Mullen, became an antiwar activist, after the death of her son in Vietnam, who had been killed by shrapnel fired from friendly artillery in a 1970 incident. She became an active opponent of U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War and protested against the Gulf War and Iraq War. Her life story was made into the Emmy Award-winning 1979 film ''Friendly Fire'' starring Carol Burnett, which was based on a 1976 book of the same name by C. D. B. Bryan.
==Early life==
Born in 1917 in Pocahontas, Iowa to a Catholic family, the daughter of Clair and Josephine (née Wolfe) Goodyear, she attended Sacred Heart High School, moving to Des Moines after graduation. She was employed as a secretary in the United States Department of Labor from 1937 to 1944.〔(Peg Mullen (1917-2009) ), Iowa Women's Archive at the University of Iowa. Accessed October 7, 2009.〕
She married Oscar Eugene "Gene" Mullen (born June 27, 1916 - died July 1986) in 1941 and lived on a family farm near La Porte City, Iowa, supplementing her income with jobs at J. C. Penney and Santa Claus Industries. The couple had four children: Michael, Patricia, Mary Margaret, and John Kevin. Peg Mullen was an active Democrat who was a delegate to the Democratic National Conventions held in 1964, 1968 and 1972. In 1972 she was a McGovern delegate. That same year she was nominated for Iowa Mother of the Year.〔Martin, Douglas.
