Well...I see that my post was deleted, and that freedom of speech only applies to those who support your views. Fortunately I saved my original message anticipating that. Here it is...

I'm a veteran and I'm sorry, but I think it is completely wrong for your group to use Veterans Day as a backdrop for your protest. This is a day to remember and thank the men and women of our Military for serving this Country. And should not be used to voice your personal anti-Iraq-war message. Yes, you have every right to protest... but I strongly urge you choose a different day, as this will only cause anger within the veteran community (Just as it has angered me) - and take away from what this day is all about.
