     The primary mission of Vets for Freedom will be to support our
     troops and insert our collective insights and experiences into this
     national debate. What makes this organization unique is that it is
     a nonpartisan group made up of veterans of all ranks and all walks
     of life who have firsthand experience of the horrors of war. We
     will seek to ensure that political discussions over the Iraq War
     are honest and forthright by telling the story from the firsthand
     perspectives of veterans.
     Inaccurate or politically inflamed media reports and policymaker
     statements based on rumor, speculation and even nonexistent events
     place an almost singular focus on negative aspects of the conflict
     versus any attention to many successes that take place almost
     daily. Those of us from the frontline have a much different view,
     but for reasons beyond our understanding, our perspective has been
     largely ignored. Vets for Freedom seeks to change this environment,
     providing viewpoints both positive and negative on what will be
     needed to achieve victory.

   [1]Amen. And then [2]some.
   This deserves the support of every patriotic American of any political
   stripe.
