Veterans rally in front of Minnesota Republican Party office in Edina

Holding signs high while wearing their military uniforms and chanting loudly for their cause, veterans and their supporters gathered to speak against recent cuts to the VA, the firing of veterans in federal services and other issues, including the deportation of refugees.

The protest happened early Friday afternoon in front of the offices of the Minnesota Republican Party in Edina.

Navy veteran Jeffrey Gigler organized the protest. He wore his Navy officer uniform and spoke passionately to the cause. He said he worked for the government for 16 years after his four-year service in the Navy.

“I’ve had a long term of government service, of sacrificing my lifetime right for good of the country,” he said.
