A large group of military veterans made a stand in the Cannon House Office Building this week in protest against Donald Trump’s war on Iran. The former vets and military family members peacefully protested in the congressional office building before many were arrested by Capitol police.
According to an article from The Hill, 62 people were arrested during the demonstration which was organized by several veteran groups. The veteran protesters stood in the Cannon building chanting anti-war slogans while holding red tulips and banners that read, “End the War on Iran.” There was also a flag folding ceremony done to commemorate the 13 U.S. soldiers that have already lost their lives in the Iran conflict.
