Where are the veterans when the Constitution is under attack?
We expect Trump and his allies to challenge election results that threaten their hold on power. That is why veterans are organizing now—before the crisis begins.
On Wednesday, November 11, veterans and allies from across the country will gather in Washington, D.C., for the Veterans Day Democracy March: a peaceful, lawful national action in support of constitutional government, lawful election results, and the rule of law.

In Episode 25 of On Offense, I sit down with Ken Harbaugh—a former Navy pilot, veteran advocate, filmmaker, president of VALOR Media Network, and producer of Against All Enemies.
Ken and I discuss the experiences that transformed his understanding of service: his daughter’s medical crisis, his work building veteran-led organizations, his reporting from Ukraine, the rapidly changing reality of drone warfare, and the dangerous gap between what America’s military is preparing for and what the next war may actually look like.
We also bring the conversation home to the threats facing American democracy—and what real patriotism demands from those who once swore an oath to support and defend the Constitution.
That oath did not expire when we took off the uniform.
The Veterans Day Democracy March is organized around three points of unity:
The voters decide. The results stand.
No president is above the Constitution.
America must keep faith with those who serve.
This is not a campaign to elect or defeat a candidate or political party. It is a peaceful, lawful effort to defend constitutional government, lawful election results, and the rule of law.
The march is being organized through the Unite for Veterans Coalition. Veterans Fighting Fascism, VALOR Media Network, and other coalition partners are mobilizing veterans, creators, advocates, artists, and allies from across the country.
