Vets For Freedom is a 527 group, a nonpartisan, tax-exempt American political organization with the stated purpose of giving a voice to America's veterans and active duty troops who support the Global War on Terror, the War in Afghanistan, the War in Iraq, and the current "surge" strategy of General David Petraeus ^[1]. The founders of the organization have all seen combat in Afghanistan or Iraq and view themselves as a "mainstream counter to MoveOn.org and Code Pink." The organization works with members of both parties and strives to "put long-term national security before short-term partisan political gain." ^[2]
