Thank you for your years of service. You are absolutely correct that his stance, pun intended, was a nonviolent protest that needed to be made. For those on the site who continuously suggest that there are other ways to protest, I submit that many of you are the very same people who suggested the current protests are disgraceful.
I can’t speak for this veteran, but I suspect he believes he served his country in part to ensure that freedom of expression, guaranteed in the constitution, will not be eliminated.
