for now we can celebrate and be happy for the NA and the focus they were able to bring to their plight. It is one we as Americans all share and owe the Protectors our sincerest gratitude for their conviction and bravery.

(23,272 posts)6. I personally know someone who's a vet who is there now
He said he feels like his presence, this move by the vets, is symbolic but hopes that his added "weight" has meaning.
I think this is one of the most important protests of our lives and I'm glad to see Bernie on the right side of it.
