"I do not support the war," Logue said. "I'm also here to send a message to Democrats and Republicans who recently played a role in backing out of having guidelines to end the war."
Logue was also a field organizer for Ned Lamont, a former candidate who ran against Joe Lieberman and Alan Schlesinger for the U.S. Senate in the 2006 elections.
"I'm exercising my freedom to protest," said Josh Sawicki of Farmington, who came with the organization COW. "I'm upset about the way things are going with the war."
Students who recently graduated from Connecticut College, located across the street from the Coast Guard Academy, wore their caps and gowns to the protest.
"It was definitely worth coming up here today, especially since a lot of people think that students don't care about politics," said Brenna Muller, a recent graduate of Connecticut College who has spent the last four years opposed to the war.
Another recent Connecticut College graduate at the protest, Cornelius Hardenbergh, also protested President Bush's 2005 inauguration in Washington D.C.
"The Democratic party has its own set of problems," he said "But there are a lot of things going on within the Bush administration that I don't like."
Students from Eastern Connecticut State University, Liberty University and Three Rivers Community College and others were at the protest.
"Students do care about this country and about the war," Ortiz said. "I think that all of us being out here today really showed that."
