Vets For Freedom in D.C. Today

Will this rally get as much media as when Mama Moonbat comes to town?

Washington, D.C. (July 16)-Veterans of the Iraq War from across the United States will be on Capitol Hill on Tuesday, July 17, to urge Senators to support the mission in Iraq and to wait until General Petraeus reports to Congress in September on the progress of the "surge" before taking a defeatist position.

"I know senators on Capitol Hill are feeling the heat to retreat from Iraq," says Pete Hegseth, an Iraq war veteran and Executive Director of Vets for Freedom. "But if they think it's hot in Washington, DC, try fighting Al Qaeda and company in Iraq. Our soldiers-and their new strategy-need support from Congress, not political pandering. The fact is the surge is showing early signs of success and our troops in the field need the support of our nation's lawmakers as they fight our nations enemies in Iraq."

Vets for Freedom is a nonpartisan organization established by combat veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Its mission is to educate the American public about the importance of achieving success in these conflicts by applying our first-hand knowledge to issues of American strategy and tactics-namely "the surge" in Iraq. Vets for Freedom is the leading voice representing troops and veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan. For more information, please visit http://www.vetsforfreedom.org/.

Perhaps Harry Reid will invite some of them to his slumber party tonight.
