Two years ago, I had the opportunity to travel to Capitol Hill with Vets for Freedom along with hundreds of veterans to support General Petraeus and the Iraq Surge. The result, our commanders and troops on the battlefield got the resources they needed, and we’re winning the war in Iraq.

Now, we must do the same for the troops in Afghanistan!

This is another call to action. We are asking every Afghanistan veteran, and other veterans, who believe in defeating America’s enemies to converge on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC on Thursday, November 5. It’s time for the warfighters to tell their representatives–face to face–to give the Commanders what they need.

CLICK HERE to SIGN UP to join Vets For Freedom in Washington, DC on November 5th! The sooner you sign up, the sooner they can schedule meetings for you!

We all hope that President Obama makes the right decision, by heeding the advice of his commanders and “surging” in Afghanistan. But in order to ensure he does–and shore up support for a troop increase in Congress–it is important to make our voices heard.

Vets will meet with Republicans and Democrats alike, making the case for a properly resourced counterinsurgency campaign, that allows the U.S. to defeat the Taliban and Al Qaeda, complete the mission, and bring the troops home in victory.

If you can’t make it to Washington, PLEASE CLICK HERE TO DONATE. We hope to raise enough money–from the supporters of Vets for Freedom–to ensure that everyone who makes the trip is reimbursed at some level. Every dollar donated to Vets for Freedom between now and November 5 will go directly to covering travel costs of veterans.

Lastly, please forward this post to everyone you know. Post it on your blog. Print it out and hand it out to friends. Get the word out, so we can get as many veterans on Capitol Hill as possible.

This is our mission. This is our moment. Join Vets for Freedom on Capitol Hill and do your part to support our commanders and troops in Afghanistan.
