Iraq Veterans Against
the War
This
is a group of veterans who have served since September
11th, 2001 including Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation
Iraqi Freedom. "We are committed to saving lives and ending the
violence in Iraq by an immediate withdrawal of all occupying
forces. We also believe that the governments that sponsored
these wars are indebted to the men and women who were forced
to fight them and must give their Soldiers, Marines, Sailors,
and Airmen the benefits that are owed to them upon their
return home." Visit
