Colorado veterans join nationwide protests against VA job cuts and healthcare reductions

“Respect and support those who served”

Hundreds of veterans and their supporters gathered on the steps of the state capitol Friday afternoon, joining thousands across the country in a nationwide march against the Trump administration’s proposed cuts to Social Security, reductions in veterans’ healthcare, and federal job losses, among other concerns.

Protesters showed up from Lakewood to Crestone to Cheyenne Wells — carrying flags and homemade, cardboard signs reading “respect and support our veterans,” “Trump and Musk are traitors,” “We served, save the VA.”
