give you thoughts, what are your thoughts on the cancellation of the parade? >> thank god. no reason that all of our troops who serve overseas have to march down constitution avenue to appease donald trump's ego. costs a lot of money and affects training and readiness and donald trump established where it's establish to the stuff that we'd see in north korea. >> it's obvious why he likes a parade. >> but of no benefit for our military. we're proud to see it canceled and we applied next year on veterans day to have a 5k run on the exact same day. >> this is outstanding you applied for a permt to be on the mall in a year from now on veterans day so they can't have a parade. >> so we can show donald trump what veterans day is about which is helping veterans. >> there are probably about 40,000 homeless veterans around the country. veterans are experiencing very high suicide rates.
