Press coverage of IVAW taking action at the NATO Summit

Iraq Veterans Against the War has been preparing for our historic action this Sunday. We, Afghanistan, Iraq, and Global War on Terror veterans, from around the country will converge in Chicago to march to the NATO summit and ceremoniously return our medals to NATO generals. We were awarded these medals for serving in the Global War on Terror, a war based on lies and failed polices. This endless war has killed hundreds of thousands, stripped the humanity of all involved, and drained our communities of trillions of dollars, diverting funds from schools, clinics, libraries, and other public goods. 

Please help amplify this historic action by spreading the news coverage we have recieved through social media.

Our stories need to be shared.
