We will have video of those who attended our day in the park for Veteran’s Day up soon; in the meantime, here are some written statements we have received:
“I’ve been following this since it’s been in New York. This movement is amazing and I am proud to be a veteran and behind you guys 100%. If I could have been there with Scott and the other vets to stand in solidarity I would have. I also encourage other vets to join, because in the end they WILL fight us, and vets and military members alike need to understand that this isn’t Iraq or Afghanistan. There should never be a war at home and the way the police have acted against people seeking redress from their government for grievances has made our streets at home look like the war zone that we defended with our lives. Let the people protest, it’s their right, and when government doesn’t listen to people, the people shouldn’t listen to their government. We still support and defend. Much love and solidarity.”

“For 3 years I have been writing on the internet that we need to take back our government from corporations. Before the collapse I was disabled and my wife worked for $16.00 an hour and we had a home. Our home owner’s insurance jumped in one year to twice our monthly mortgage payment due to massive claims from hurricanes, thus tripling our monthly payment. Now my wife makes under $10.00 an hour and we lost our home. I had started to feel that people like me were forgotten by everyone. Now I am part of the 99% and people all over the world are speaking up and standing up for people like us. We are the 99%.”
