I thought the Occupy Movement was nothing but dirty stinking urinating hippy America hating Millenials. Have you seen any of these pictures on Fox News?

Iconic Images of Veterans Supporting the Protests
There have already been numerous iconic photos of veterans supporting the protests:
(For the stories behind the photographs above, see this, this and this.)
Indeed, veterans’ support for the protests is growing nationwide.
Today’s March of the Veterans
Robert Johnson of Business Insider covered the veterans march today in New York’s Zuccotti Park supporting the protesters.
Johnson took some great photos (below), and reports:
This was a true march in protest. After all, these men and women are soldiers.
As they made their way to Zuccotti Park, the feeling was tense. People who watched from their offices did not smile or laugh, they stared and whispered quietly to each other.
And then the veterans took the human microphone. Like their steps, their voices rang in perfect time. The occupiers stood in silence, only opening their mouths to repeat what the soldiers said.
When one Navy veteran addressed Zuccotti Park he put it very simply: “If you continue to assemble in peace and solidarity, justice will come to pass. We are the 99%.”
And here’s a picture of today’s march from the Guardian:

The pics that really get to me are the ones of the Old Vets. God bless them. When I was a waiter in DC, every Veterans day we offered free dinner to any and all Veterans that came in. AND we advertised it. It was hard for me on those days because every time I went to shake a hand in thanks I would tear up. I never did make much in tips those days in dollars but I made a hell of alot in appreciation.
