Dear Gideon,
Thank you for joining IAVA. Thanks to the continued support of folks like you, IAVA has become the nation’s fastest growing veterans group. There are exciting times ahead, and we’re happy to have you involved!
IAVA is the nation's first and largest organization dedicated to improving the lives of troops and veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Founded in 2004 by Iraq veterans, IAVA is a young, dynamic nonprofit with over 125,000 Member Veterans and Civilian Supporters in 50 states. We're winning major battles in Congress (like the new “Post 9/11” GI Bill), supporting veterans around the country, and making national headlines daily (like CNN, New York Times and NPR).
We are leading the way to build a lasting movement for our new generation of veterans.
Now that you’re an IAVA Member Veteran, here are some other things you can do right now to get more involved:
Join our Social Network: Share your experiences with other OIF/OEF vets and connect with others who know where you’re coming from. Join today at CommunityofVeterans.org.
Have fun! IAVA events in the past year have included a 4th of July celebration aboard the USS Midway; a free concert with Ludacris just for OIF/OEF vets; and, backstage passes to the nationwide Mayhem Tour with Disturbd and Slipknot. We also have regular free offers for our member veterans. These range from exclusive panels with some of the world’s foremost leaders and thinkers on current affairs, to concert tickets and film screenings.
