I am a Navy veteran from Chicago and I would love to participate in the June 6 protest in front of the Capitol. But I can’t afford the hotels in DC. Is there cheap place for me to stay for the night?
The cheapest I’ve found is a hostel (Generator Hotel) that looks pretty nice. It’s 2miles from the National mall where the protest is. You would be sharing a room with 3 other people but with just needing a place to sleep it maybe worth looking into. it’s currently $60 a night/$67 for all female room. I looked at booking directly through them but it is actually cheaper on Expedia.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I seem to remember that the bonus army encampment was broken up by Douglas McArthur with assistance from Dwight Eisenhower. Smedley Butler is far less remembered but is the true American hero. Semper Fi, Smedley.
BUT, he wants a military BIRTHDAY celebration for himself….WITH military personnel…on June 14…he wants that like Kim Jong Un and Putin..when THEY have celebrations in “Their” countries. TOP THAT!!!
Will this be televised or aired on YouTube or other platforms ? Many can’t take the day off but can participate by watching at home and liking to get message viral. It doesn’t have to be a live stream. But we need to get the message to everyone.
Either we stand together and fight this approaching tyranny in all of its manifestations or we get picked off one by one and die alone in the darkness! We swore an Oath and We honor that Oath! Semper Fi
The redirection from the “Remembrance of Sacrifice” theme to the “Victory!” BS is classic poser strongman crap. The installation of Hegseth showed their hand from the start with all the “Warfighting” garbage rather than anything related to Defense. Both sides have used Vets as pawns to craft their self righteous imagery. There currently exists no figure in the Smedley Butler mode, though one is more desperately needed than most Americans realize.
Great post! Do you want followers who are active in Indivisible, MoveOn and similar organizations to share and participate?
My Vietnam vet father, USAF serviceman for 22 years was exposed to agent orange and had forms of ptsd till he died.
All veterans deserve to be treated with dignity and respect.
Changing the name of Veterans Day? How fucking demented can one possibly get?

All gave some, Some gave All 🫡🇺🇸
We bought our flights to DC and booked our hotel. We will be ready to rally.
I will be donating towards someone’s bus ticket.

Patton even lead the charge.

Thank you for organizing this and spreading the word.
