Marching behind a police vehicle that flashed the words "Follow Us. Welcome to Denver." on an electronic sign, at least 3,000 Iraq war veterans and anti-war protesters made their way through downtown Denver on Wednesday during the largest demonstration of the Democratic National Convention to date.

Though the event, co-sponsored by the anti-war group Tent State University and Iraq Veterans Against the War, was unpermitted, the parade proceeded peacefully.

2. At least 5,000 at the beginning.

Uniformed IVAW members led the march, that started at the Denver Coliseum after the Rage Against the Machine concert in support of IVAW (incredible show).

Members of Rage Against the Machine, the Flowbots, and The Crew marched at the head of the civilians who followed the IVAW members marching in formation.
Ron Kovic, in his wheelchair was also at the head of the action.

This was the most powerful action of the week.
