Great crowd of concerned citizens at this morning's No Kings Day Rally at the Grenada Bridge in Ormond Beach, Florida. Many, like me, veterans of previous protests, others just concerned veterans. I parked my scooter next to Vietnam combat vet in a walker who doesn't support whatever this war is we are raging in Iran and vicinity. He grew up in Ormond and knew some of my b-ball teammates from Father Lopez High School (Go Green Wave!). Met a woman my age who, late at night, assembled her big sign held up by a mop handle. She moved recently from Long Island. "Left my blue state to come here." People with their dogs and kids and grandkids. They felt the need to be here on this sunny Saturday. I felt privileged to be in their company. A few photos below by Kevin Shay.

A good turn out in Laramie. Veterans included.
So good to see this. Big turn out in KC also.
We had several excellent crowds in the area. Big events but fun too. In Ormond, we were right on the main drag that leads to a major bridge over the river. So many honked and waved and shouted greetings. There were a few catcalls from MAGA people, a few birds flew our way. Most opponents kept their windows rolled up, AC and radio on, hoping the light didn't turn red.
