Many times when you hear talk about Veterans Day, you picture men from World War 2 or Vietnam. And while we don’t want the gratitude and respect we offer these soldiers from the older generations to diminish, we also don’t want to forget about those new veterans that have served our country in Iraq and Afghanistan.
IAVA (Iraq/Afghanistan Veterans Assoc.) is dedicated to helping this generations soldiers through educating Americans about current wars and encouraging their support, as well as advocating for legislation that uplifts these new veterans and their families. This week they are sponsoring numerous events around the country, culminating, Wednesday, with their annual Heroes Gala in NYC. Find out more about how you can get involved here.
