*This group is not yet a Non-profit Organization. While we appreciate the generosity, absolutely no donations will be accepted. We will continue to utilize this MySpace site to help promote advocacy efforts, pursued by established Non-profit Organizations, by displaying their banners with utmost pride. We sincerely hope that you will consider directing your donations towards those other worthy causes displayed on this MySpace Site.
*This MySpace site was developed primarily to help facilitate the networking of United States' Veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan, current military personnel of all service branches, and their supporters. Our ultimate goal, however, is to build this effort, through increased national exposure, so that we can continue to effectively pursue advocacy efforts on behalf of United States' Veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan.
Through our MySpace site, we also hope to successfully link our general American population to the brave men and women who sacrifice so much on our behalf. Endless stories have been generated by those who have experienced the war efforts first hand. Because we strongly believe that it is not just our military at war, but, rather our entire country, we sincerely hope that the general American public will try their best to understand these experiences, and embrace them, regardless of political agenda or ideology.
Many Veteran's/Military organizations have been birthed as a direct result of the war efforts. While there is no doubt that they have done some great things for veterans, and current military personnel, they oftentimes compete, rather than complement one another. For that reason, we will continue to utilize our MySpace page, as a solid platform of support, in order to unite these various resources, and help direct traffic towards their worthy causes, as well.
While we continue to build this effort up to the point where we can have a formidable impact on veterans, and the issues they currently face, we will continue to proudly display the banners of the IAVA (Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America) on this MySpace site.
(Please refer to our blog for past updates on our progress, as well as, any future updates)

The United States' Veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan is a newly formed MySpace group that emerged in direct response to what we perceive as an escalating need, and desire, to demonstrate our continual support of all military personnel at home, and currently deployed overseas.
While this group was established as a direct result of the ongoing collaboration amongst a small handful of Army Veterans, we believe that our actions should display a unified voice of support that transcends any barriers emplaced by the stigmas associated with each various branch of service.
We will remain politically neutral in regards to various stances concerning the approval, or disapproval, of the war efforts. While we are aware that these various stances do, in fact, exist, we will not allow this page to become a platform for these debates, irregardless of how subtle in nature they are. Instead, our focus is founded on providing a public forum by which past, and present, veterans can congregate in order to demonstrate a unifying factor of support for those who have been, and are currently, in harm's way.
If harnessed correctly, we believe that online communities, such as MySpace, provide an incredible avenue for rallying, and maintaining, support of these brave men and women.
This group is not associated, in any way, beyond monetary contributions given from it's current members already, with the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW), or the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA). We will, however, display their banners on our MySpace site with upmost pride.
While we may be members of several organizations simultaneously, we do believe that this effort can effectively harness the potential of MySpace, as a primary driving force of expressions of support, in a way that complements those previously mentioned organizations.
At no time will monetary contributions/donations be solicited.

"The trees were budding, the birds were singing - the grass was wet - the whole earth was shining, And suddenly I was the trees and the flowers and the birds and the grass - and there was no I at all"
There is a misconception here about the murderer at Fort Hood getting 72 virgins upon his death should he make it that far.
Right now I can assure you that Allah is rolling over and cannot get comfortable over what took place.
What happened is the Dr./Killer in his blaze of glory dropped in his track, stopped cold by a woman. This is not supposed to happen and now Allah is terribly confused and has no idea how to handle such an unpredictable outcome.
For anyone who viewed Oliver Stone's Born on the Fourth of July and THINK that they know something about paraplegic and quadriplegic veterans who once lived in Mexico during the 50's, 60's and 70's, the link below takes you to a BLOG post you may find interesting!
If life were but a dream, my Love, And death the waking time; If day had not a beam, my Love, And night had not a rhyme, -- A barren, barren world were this Without one saving gleam; I'd only ask that with a kiss You'd wake me from the dream.
If dreaming were the sum of days, And loving were the bane; If battling for a wreath of bays Could soothe a heart in pain, -- I'd scorn the meed of battle's might, All other aims above I'd choose the human's higher right, To suffer and to love!
"A friend who is far away is sometimes much nearer than one who is at hand. Is not the mountain far more awe-inspiring and more clearly visible to one passing through the valley than to those who inhabit the mountain?"
House Minority Leader Lawrence F. Cafero Jr., R-Norwalk, pictured standing, far right, speaks while colleagues Rep. Barbara Lambert, D-Milford and Rep. Jack F. Hennessy, D-Bridgeport, play solitaire Monday night as the House convened to vote on a new budget. (AP)
The guy sitting in the row in front of these two... he's on Facebook, and the guy behind Hennessy is checking out the baseball scores.
These are the folks that can't get the budget out by Oct. 1, Seriously!!!
So, we’ve got a 30 day budget extension. Well, guess what, 30 days from now we will be in the same boat. I guess this makes it easy for the news ‘reporters’ as all they have to do is recycle the same headlines from this week and from 2 years ago. And these yo-yo’s will still be playing SOLITAIRE!!!
Shall we, too, rise forgetful from our sleep, And shall my soul that lies within your hand Remember nothing, as the blowing sand Forgets the palm where long blue shadows creep When winds along the darkened desert sweep?
Or would it still remember, tho' it spanned A thousand heavens, while the planets fanned The vacant ether with their voices deep? Soul of my soul, no word shall be forgot, Nor yet alone, beloved, shall we see
The desolation of extinguished suns, Nor fear the void wherethro' our planet runs, For still together shall we go and not Fare forth alone to front eternity.
"Actually,who are you not to be?You are a child of God,Your playing small doesn't serve the world;There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you;We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us"
"Blessed (happy, fortunate, and to be envied) are they who keep His testimonies, and who seek, inquire for and of Him and crave Him with a whole heart”(Psalm 119:2 AMP)
