This presidents Day, Adam Kokesh, Nathan Cox and and 1,000 other military veterans will assemble at the White House to demonstrate that “Ron Paul is the Choice of the Troops.” Many are expected to turn their backs on Obama.

From their press release:

On President’s Day, February 20th, 2012, the founders of Veterans for Ron Paul 2012, Nathan Cox and Adam Kokesh, will lead a formation of veterans and active duty troops who support Ron Paul’s candidacy for President of the United States from the Washington Monument to the White House. Upon arrival at the White House, they will do an about face and render a hand salute to a folded American flag. They will hold the salute for as many seconds as troops have died under the Presidency of Barack Obama, including suicides.

The purpose of this event is to make it clear to the American people that Ron Paul is the choice of the troops and the candidate who will have the greatest support from those he would lead as commander-in-chief. This is already evidence by the fact that Ron Paul has received more campaign contributions from active duty service members than all other presidential candidates combined, INCLUDING Barrack Obama. The troops want a President who is going to be decisive, put America’s security first, and only send them into harm’s way with a clear moral imperative. Ron Paul is the ONLY candidate who even comes close to meeting those criteria.
