Veterans raise their hands in solidarity after throwing their medals towards the site of the NATO Summit in Chicago on Sunday.
After “retiring” an American flag they carried through the streets and giving it to a woman whose soldier son committed suicide, they began hurtling their war service medals into the air -- a rare form of protest that was last done on a large scale by 900 Vietnam veterans in 1971.
The protesters cheered the post 9/11-era veterans on, clapping and yelling, “give them back!”
"I choose human life over war," Jerry Bordeleau shouted through a microphone, before tossing the medals onto the street.
