Nathan Lewis, of Trumansburg, N.Y., who served in the U.S. Army from 2001 to 2003 spoke to us at Occupy Wall Street on Nov. 2 when veterans marched in support of the protestors.

“I would like to see our country to be a shining example of tolerance and fairness.  Somewhere where people come to learn.  A strong, healthy culture, not what I see today,” Lewis said.
