Veterans are planning to march on Washington DC in order to defend the Constitution and the oath they swore to it.

The protest, set to take place on March 14, has been publicized across social media through various posters and by the website NowMarch.

Veterans joining the march intend to peacefully protest the Trump administration's proposed cuts to Social Security, federal job losses for veterans, the pardon of January 6 rioters, and reductions in veterans' healthcare services.

One of the promotional posters for the protest quotes General Mark Milley, who said: "We don't take an oath to a king." Last month, the White House posted an edited photo of President Donald Trump wearing a crown with the caption, "Long Live the King."

What To Know
The march is deliberately scheduled for March 14, as Section 3 of the 14th Amendment addresses insurrectionists.
