There are thousands of protests planned for June 14th all over the country to send a message to Donald Trump that no one wants his birthday military parade in DC that is costing taxpayers millions.

On AP this morning, an article about veterans' opinions on this parade. This one sums up mine:

Joe Plenzler, a retired Marine who fought in Iraq, said Trump wants to see troops saluting him on his birthday as tanks roll past.

“It’s just suspicious,” the 53-year-old from Middletown, Virginia, said of the timing.

“I absolutely love the Army from the bottom of my cold black Marine heart,” he said. “But if the Army’s birthday was a day later, we probably wouldn’t be doing it. I’d rather see that $50 million take care of the men and women who went off to war and came back with missing arms, legs and eyeballs, and with damaged brains.”
