Well, James Erickson shared with the student protesters that he, too, marched when he wanted money to pay for college.

Thing is, he's a U.S Marine — and his march was nothing like the student protesters experienced:

I wanted money for school, so I marched too... #millionstudentmarch This one was about 25 miles... #USMC pic.twitter.com/bS6QN0KDtb
