Veterans plan protest of Donald Trump in Jacksonville
Source: Tampa Bay Times
When Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump arrives in one of the nation's largest military communities today in Jacksonville, he can expect protest from veterans upset with his back and fourth with the family of U.S. Army Capt. Humayun Khan who was killed in Iraq in 2004.
Few counties in American have as big of a military footprint than Jacksonville, which is home to two of the nation's five largest U.S. Navy bases. Nearly 100,000 people work on those bases. In addition, Duval County has almost 100,000 veterans, more than any other county in Florida, according to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.

The protest will be outside, but I'm betting on stuff happening inside as well. This could turn out to be very, very interesting!
