After having served a one year tour of duty in Iraq, 2003-2004, I have returned home fully convinced of the immorality of this war. I strongly believe it is my moral obligation to actively oppose this war, as well as help educate the American public on the futility of current U.S. foreign policy toward the Middle East.

I am currently at Camp Bucca on Stop Loss orders. Ive been in for 7 years and I have done two tours in Iraq.

Infantryman that served in Iraq from August 05 - July 06

I was discharged in August of 2002, so I dodged the Iraq bullet. After too many years of apathy I woke up and got on board.

I'm not re-enlisting cause our military presence overseas is making America less safe, and I'm not willing to serve the interests of war profiteers.

I served 7 months in Iraq from January to July 2004 in Baghdad and Najaf. I was wounded by an IED and was awarded a purple heart. In January 2005 I went AWOL to Canada and after almost two years of fighting to open the doors for others I was being deported so I came back in October 2006. I was discharged without a court martial because my unit was in Germany. Peace much love and most of all Resist!!!!

Charlie served in the invasion of Iraq from February-May 2003. He was medically retired with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder in 2005.

I served in the United States Navy from 1998-2006 as a Cryptologist. I joined the military for many of the same reasons; money for school, duty, travel, etc. I am grateful for the opportunity to have served my country, but I am honored for being a part of IVAW.

I served in the Michigan Army National Guard for six years as a 13B (Artilleryman) in Charlie 1-119th. I was mobilized to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba to serve in Camp Delta as a prison guard.

I joined the National Guard when I was 17, in January of 2004. I knew I would need the money for college and I felt a much needed sense of discipline and direction for my life. It wasn't until the Dean of Admissions at my older brothers college asked me, "As a Soldier, What do you think about the war in Iraq?", and I had no reply, that I knew I needed to find an answer. I sought the truth; this is where the truth led me.

I got back from my last tour in october, this time around i was called out of the IRR. I wasnt in agreement with the war when this tour began, but being there this time my veiw has shifted from a vague dissagreement, to a need to take action. This war goes against everything we are supposed to stand for. The powers that be are tainting our legacy. If you arent furious, you arent paying attention!

I served in Iraq APR 2003-JAN 2004, mostly as the Regimental S2 for 2nd ACR. I left the military shortly after my Iraqi tour because I didn't support the war and didn't want to continue risking my life for a cause I thought was unjust and illegal.

I'm an Iraq war vet. I wrote and published a book based (partly) on my war experiences, "Shared Sacrifice: Don't Ask Don't Tell & The Global War on Terror".

I joined at 17. Trained as a combat medic. Deployed to Iraq on October 2005 until July 2006. I worked as a combat medic and anesthesia technician.

I am 25 year old veteran and now a freshmen at Millersville University of PA. I am majoring in history.

I have been in the Air Force 6 years now.I'm near my seperation. I have worked as a security forces Airmen the entire time. I would just like to help my other brother in arms any way that i can.

Served as a Medic with 4th ID out of Fort Hood during OIF 05-07. Some of the things I saw and experienced during my time caused a drastic change in my views, and now I am trying to end this bullshit.
I'm also the secretary of the newly formed CT chapter.

Served in Squad Leader position for Infantry squad in Iraq throughout 2003 and 2004 in An Nasiriyah and Baghdad. ETS: 27, July 2007

I have always been "militant" so it's sort of funny that I joined the military...and of all things the Marine Corps.

Served nine years. When financial disaster struck, I joined the service. Now seeking a real job.

young veteran changed forever
