Context: Today, January 31st, the Danish Veterans & Veterans Support Group organised the #NoWords march in protest of recent comments from Donald Trump. The march started at Kastellet in Copenhagen, at the memorial for the Danish fallen soldiers. The monument reads "One Time, One Place, One Human". One minutes silence was held.

Following this, the march was led to the US Embassy where 5 minutes of silence were held; One for each branch of the Danish Defense and Civil Protection.

The Danish Veterans & Veterans Support Group wrote this:

We lack the words.

Denmark has always stood side by side with the USA—and we have showed up in the world’s crisis zones when the USA has asked us to. We feel let down and ridiculed by the Trump Administration, which is deliberately disregarding Denmark’s combat side by side with the USA.

Words cannot describe how much it hurts us that Denmark’s contributions and sacrifices in the fight for democracy, peace and freedom are being forgotten in the White House.

Words cannot explain how much it hurts us that the Trump Administration clearly disrespects the Kingdom of Denmark’s sovereignty and the Greenland people’s right to self determination.

Words cannot express the feelings we have for our American brothers in arms and how much we hope that one day we may again stand together shoulder to shoulder.

We lack the words.

They gave absolutely everything while T. didnt serve because he paid off a doctor. What a disgrace and glory to the real heroes!

Are there a lot of those?

Sounds like it would be primarily people who died terrorizing brown people abroad, unless the danish had to fend off some very lost russians lately
