Is there a veteran's activity against RNC on Sun, 8/29?

[speedoo]

I thought I saw something about it, including meeting location, but can't find anything now. I will be at the VVAW event on Thursday, assuming I can get details on it, but if anyone has info on a Sunday veteran's event, please let me know... thanks!!
