Not all veterans get to march in parades...
Advertisements [?]
At least in Denver, anyway. A group called "Veterans For Peace" will not be permitted to march in the annual Veterans Day Parade. Their participation is denied because they march while chanting against the war in Iraq. You'd think that the freedoms they fought to defend would extend to those veterans who've been there done that. Apparently not.
