An excerpt from the Veterans Party website:

We are not sending up flares as we march, but quietly, steadily marching towards our goals.  The growth of the Veterans Party is phenomenal and tells us all, friend and foe alike, that we are coming, We Are Coming, and change is not just in the air, but in every day and every step we take.

How many of us are there?

The Veterans Administration states 24.6 Million.  However that number only includes those who are registered for care through them.  Here are some other figures they do not count.

Military Retirees     2.3 Million

Active Duty              2.1 Million (includes USA, USN, USMC, USAF & USCG)

Reservists               1.3 Million (including those on call in other countries)

National Guard        2.4 Million (all 50 states and territories)

No Participation      1.8 Million (those who served but did not get benefits or retire)

When you add this other group of 9.9 million the VA does not include, you get 34.5 million, just above 10% of our nation’s population.
