Former US Army CPT Rob Cheng spent his Veteran's Day fighting a cold wind and freezing temperatures to urge National Guardsmen from red states and even ICE agents to resist and reject Dummkopf Trumpf's orders to occupy the nation's cities. "Seeing our states full of National Guards and ICE ripping apart families has you questioning what the word service' means," Cheng told an appreciative crowd of more than 200"most of them veterans, too"gathered in front of Washington, D.C.'s Union Station, within sight of the US Capitol. The Hyattsville MD, resident, a member of About Faces, a group of veterans against war dedicated to opposing "militarization of our communities and to voice resistance to this regime," led off a parade of speakers at the DC event, co-sponsored by May Day Strong. The "Vets Say No" rallies in DC, Chicago, NYC, LA, Memphis, Portland OR, and a string of smaller cities in California and Texas drew hundreds of people each. |

The rallies occurred in the cities where ICE and/or the National Guard have already invaded. The one in Portland was three blocks from a notorious ICE detention center. "We should all be against fascism," the emcee at the D.C. rally declared. "The #1 way to be that is through community organizing." About Faces, which claims 2,000 veterans as members nationwide, has another message for veterans who want to resist Trumpf's orders, speakers both in D.C. and before that, elsewhere, said, "We have your back."
