Vets for Freedom Revitalizes Support for Victory

On a gray Tuesday morning on Capitol Hill Sen. John McCain addressed several hundred members of Vets for Freedom -- the largest Iraq and Afghanistan veterans' organizations in the country. In DC's upper Senate Park, McCain and other pro-victory Senators and Congressmen rallied for success in Iraq.

The event was timed to support the same day U.S. Commander in Iraq Gen. David Petraeus and U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Ryan Crocker returned to Washington to present their latest progress reports.

Washington was one of VFF's last stops in the three-week National Heroes Tour, on which members spoke to and encouraged crowds in key U.S. cities not to submit to defeat in Iraq by pulling out troops without respect for the certain consequences.

The Heros Tour was organized jointly by Vets for Freedom and Vets for Victory.

The MSM has not given them much publicity.

We saw three members of Vets for Freedom on Glenn Beck last night. Appear to be some very fine young men.
We need more like them to “step up to the plate” and run for local, state & federal public office if we are ever going to turn this whole mess around.

I was priviledged to be part of helping at one of their stops as well as be with them in DC. Hubby is a member. We had a very interesting time trying to get into to see Murtha. More details later this evening.
