Veterans marched to Backwater Bridge and back to the protest camp today.

The bridge has been closed and stands as a dividing line between law enforcement and opponents to the Dakota Access Pipeline who are camping in southern Morton County.

Over the weekend, about 2,000 veterans joined to protesters and declared they would protect the protesters from police tactics and put their weight behind the right to free speech.
