I just got back from DC (821 mile drive round trip) to show my support for our veterans.
There were a lot of great speakers with heartfelt messages for us to listen to and absorb. This was my first protest; hopefully not my last.
The organizers (Cliff Cash and Jessica Denson of Fourteenth Now!) did a great job putting this all together.
Thank you too all of our service members, past and present! Also thank you to everyone who showed up to support our service members!
Side note: As I mentioned, I’d never been to a protest before. I’m also a severe introvert who sucks at organizing himself, and I went alone. I almost backed down, especially when my youngest son said he was scared of me getting arrested. But it is for him and my other son that I went, because these things are super important!
Great job! Reminds me of myself about 8 yrs ago.
Hope you will be able to make some friends there next time. Honestly we have no easy way out of it any time soon if not ever, the only thing we can hope for is to keep the fire and warm up each other in the dark.
