As the Soldiers carry the American Flag and a handwritten letter of support in their pocket, they are reminded of the prayers of millions and the hope of Freedom that they inspire.

VETS FOR FREEDOM was founded by a group of Iraq and Afghanistan War veterans who believe in the mission of freedom, specifically Operation Iraqi Freedom, but who have become frustrated with the way the operation has been politicized and reported to the home front.
