Any word from the Vets/Marines who were heading to OWS?
I was so excited by the thread a few days ago about
Vets and company heading to OWS, but haven't heard anything
about it since- anyone got an update?

3. Here it is! Thread about it-from Frosty1

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=439x2037141

From Frosty1:
'This was taken from a message I just received on facebook:

"The Marines are coming to Wall St...(to PROTECT the protestors) "I'm heading up there tonight in my dress blues. So far, 15 of my fellow marine buddies are meeting me there, also in Uniform. I want to send the following message to Wall St and Congress: I didn't fight for Wall St. I fought for America. Now it's Congress' turn. My true hope, though, is that we Veterans can act as first line of defense between the police and the protester. If they want to get to some protesters so they can mace them, they will have to get through the Fucking Marine Corps first. Let's see a cop mace a bunch of decorated war vets. I apologize now for typos and errors. Typing this on iPhone whilst heading to NYC. We can organize once we're there. That's what we do best. If you see someone in uniform, gather together. A formation will be held tonight at 10PM. We all took an oath to uphold, protect and defend the constitution of this country. That's what we will be doing. Hope to see you there!!"'
