I would like to go to Wall Street. My sign:
Unfortunately that's just not possible.
But if I could go, this would be MY sign.

I'M AN OLD MAN
I'M A VETERAN
I'M NOT AS SPRY AS I USED TO BE
BUT I'M HERE.
(Please do not club, mace, or jostle me.
I might fall and break a hip.
I'll go quietly.)

1. Beautiful sentiment.
But I fear that they only see you as long as you serve their purposes and masters.

3. I hear ya! I'd love to be there, as well, but...
I just hope I'm around to see the US turned around and everything running smoothly.

5. Love the sign !
I attended an Occupy New Haven event on Sunday. I'm a 64 year old woman, my companions were women 10 and 20 years my senior. We didn't stay too long because the 84 year old was tired. She had already spent an hour at a peace vigil that day. Maybe we'll use a modified version of your sign next time. We're not veterans but the 84 year old was a prisoner of the Germans as a teenager in Poland

7. I would have taken you to 60 but I was too late
I would be standing next to you. I am not a vet but I am getting pretty close to 60. LOL
